Alligator Takes A Powder After Biting Child

Detroit’s East Side: DPD’s 5th Precinct and DEMS Medic 24 were dispatched to 18300 E Warren, Riverview Health & Rehab, on reports of a child bitten by an alligator. How an alligator ended up in a retirement community is unknown. DEMS Medic 24 was first on the scene and reported the alligator was no longer there. DPD Scouts were canceled.

Sources tell me the alligator was last seen hightailing it towards Belle Isle. Medic 24 took care of the child and all is well. I have no idea how an alligator made it to a retirement community, unless we’re talking a really weird grandparent.

The alligator is still out there…waiting.

Below is the dispatch audio of the great alligator caper…

Alligators are not pets…no wildlife is, please refrain from partaking in such nonsense. Let them live their lives free of our <redacted> stupidity.
