The Lakeland homeowner got home around 5:30 p.m. Tuesday
and went out to his backyard, where he noticed bubbles coming up to the surface
of the water, according to Craig Lear.
When he realized a gator was in the pool, he called the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Lear said. They sent a
trapper to safely remove it.
The home is located on Osprey Landing Drive in the Eagle
Brooke Golf Course subdivision.
