April 23, 2008 Florida woman finds alligator in kitchen Play video

(NECN) - Authorities say a 69-year-old central Florida woman found an eight-foot alligator in her kitchen late Monday night.

Sandra Frosti says she got suspicious after hearing a noise from another room, and came face to face with the reptile. She says it must have pushed through her screen door in search of her cat.

After calling 911, an animal trapper was called in and removed the alligator. No one was injured.
