MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. – A massive, combative alligator startled a Merritt Island homeowner Tuesday by knocking on the front door of her house.
Neighbors along River Moorings Drive near the Indian River said the 10-foot, 5-inch gator was roaming the area earlier in the day.
Two neighbors tried wrestling the gator but couldn't, so they called 911.
A trapper removed the gator, which weighed 350 pounds.

"That's the biggest gator that has been here in the last 20 years that we have seen," said Corey Larkam, who lives in the neighborhood.
