In a video released by the Martin County Sheriff's Office, the alligator performs a series of powerful spins, known as "death spirals," as it resists police and an alligator catcher as it is pulled out of the pool.

Officers Dawn Ferris and Crystal Nash were the first to arrive at the scene after receiving a call from the homeowner who discovered the giant alligator lounging in the pool.

As he was dragged closer to the edge of the lake, the alligator continued to struggle. During the struggle with the ferocious animal, Mr. Hines had to use all his strength and experience to control the alligator. Photo: Martin County Sheriff's Office. Thanks to that, Mr. Hines successfully pulled the alligator out of the pool and safely loaded it into a transport vehicle. Photo: Martin County Sheriff's Office. Fortunately, no one was injured as the incident was discovered early and dealt with promptly. Authorities speculate that the alligator may have climbed or crawled through the fence to get into the pool. Photo: Martin County Sheriff's Office.
