Deputies notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, who did not respond to the incident, according to a tweet.

“It’s safe to assume he’s still swimming in (Harrington Lake),” the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies urge residents to stay safe and alert them if they encounter an alligator problem.
