Hey Simmons - Gators in Akron?
Boy kills gator with brick while fishing at Akron
Associated Press • April 22, 2009
AKRON (AP) — An Ohio teenager out for a leisurely day of fishing caught an alligator instead when it rose from a lake and lunged at him.
Anthony Greer said the alligator rose out of Akron’s Summit Lake at about 9 a.m. Sunday. The 14-year-old says he killed it by hitting it on the head with a brick.
The 4 feet, 2 inches long alligator has a silver colored band on its right back foot that reads “483.”
Akron Zoo’s manager of Living Collections, Pete Mohan, said it’s possible the alligator came from an alligator farm or a pet store.
Another teenager caught another alligator at the same lake in 2007. That gator was captured alive and was adopted by an animal rescue group.
