Livingston Parish police have issued a warning to residents of Livingston after a large, over 8-foot alligator was spotted in a drainage canal. Don't they make movies about this kind of stuff?

The eight-and-a-half-foot alligator was last spotted in the canal just off Ohio Street within the town. The Police are advising residents to keep a very close eye on children and pets around ditches and drains, as alligators might be hidden inside.
