Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission officer Ron Stark pulls an alligator near U.S. 441 just under the Turnpike overpass on Tuesday morning.

Why did the alligator cross the road? Cops don't know, but authorities collared the nine footer Tuesday morning after a half-hour standoff that slowed traffic to a crawl on U.S. 441. The gator was spotted about 7:15 a.m. at U.S. 441 and Bailey Road. The reptile was seen by construction workers, who called 911, bringing the Broward Sheriff's Office to the scene.
