It was the ultimate nature walk for one woman on Wednesday when she spotted a four-foot alligator on the grounds of George Washington Middle School.
“It was near the storm pipe,” said Wayne Det. Capt. Jim Clarke. “She was just up there taking a nature walk, saw the alligator, and called us.”
It wasn’t long after the 5:30 p.m. call to police that Wayne Township Park Ranger Robert Morgenfruh arrived to the school at Lenox Road to try and wrangle the freshwater gator, but it slipped into the storm pipe when he arrived.
