PORT ORANGE, Fla. – A trapper who captured a 9-foot alligator in Port Orange said he found evidence that the reptile attacked and killed a family's dog on Tuesday.
Curtis Lucas said he found bones and hair inside the gator's stomach.
The gator was captured Wednesday, a day after a 100-pound boxer was found dead in a lake behind the Skyview subdivision.
Trappers said they will set more traps within the next few days to capture another gator that has been spotted in the water.
