Alligators in Marshall County?

Laura and Chris Teel have a problem unique in Marshall County. A 200-pound alligator has come to live in the pond in their yard and won’t go away. The 6-8 foot alligator has been in the Teel’s pond for about two weeks. The alligator eats their catfish, bellows at night and in the past few days has begun to scare them a little.
