SALEM, Ohio - Another un-wanted animal sighting in a residential neighborhood.

This incident happened in Salem, but it wasn't a bear that Alex and Nancy Evans discovered in their back yard on East 7th Street, it was a three foot-long alligator.

They managed to trap it in a garbage can.

"He was opening his mouth and hissing," says Nancy,  "he wasn't happy at all."

"The third time I got him in the can," reports Alex, "and I told the wife to throw me the lid for the can and that's how I kept him in there."

The gator was safely transported to an animal shelter outside Salem.

No one knows where it came from.
