FORT MYERS, Fla. (CBS12) — The Public Works department in Fort Myers had a very unusual task to handle on Tuesday.

The crew got called to clear a backup on a drainage line in the Whiskey Creek area.

They arrived and found an 11-foot alligator as the culprit.

Crews removed the beast. The water is now running fine.
