POLK COUNTY, Fla. – Looks like the Polk County Jail has come up with a very Florida way to patrol the perimeter of the jail: an alligator.
Not really, but it sure looks like it from the picture tweeted by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd.

The tweet claimed Lt. Edwin Rodriguez spotted a gator at the back fence of the jail. Rodriguez cleverly captioned his photo, “Is going to be a good day. We have the big dog watching the back fence…lol.”
Apparently, the sheriff’s office has named the gator Jay.
