St. Cloud police were called Monday to Michigan Avenue Elementary school to remove a large alligator from school property.

According to the police department’s Facebook page, the school resource officer took the trespassing gator, which they named Gary, into custody.

The Facebook post said the gator bonded out and was given strict instructions to never return to school property.

It’s uncertain if Gary will learn his lesson.
