However, she was left shocked after she found a seven-foot alligator in the pool. Kerri Kibbe heard the puzzling sound at around 2 AM, and once she switched the lights on she found the gator staring at her from the pool. Although, she thought that the reptile would find its way out of the pool, concerned about her, and her children's safety, she quickly decided to inform the police.

After the police were informed the official in charge called an alligator trapper to rescue the animal from Kibbe's house.
