"He may have just been 'hangry' for a cheeseburger, but he gave many quite the scare!" the Lee County Sheriff's office joked on Twitter.

Perhaps it just wanted a cheeseburger... or maybe a more substantial meal? An alligator reportedly chased customers through the parking lot of a Florida restaurant on Monday until it was wrangled and taken away by cops. The Lee County Sheriff's Office said that deputies responded to a Wendy's outlet where the six-foot alligator was chasing customers through the parking lot.  GATOR CHASE????Deputies responded to Lee Blvd today after this 6-ft gator chased pedestrians through a Wendy's parking lot.He may have just been "hangry" for a cheeseburger, but he gave many quite the scare!Alongside FWC, we wrangled the gator and safely relocated it. pic.twitter.com/OIiDHCmMJC In other #Florida news, we'll be experiencing a slightly delayed response time leaving Lehigh Acres Health & Rehab ???????????? pic.twitter.com/9cPykAwxo8 A unique skillset is required for being a deputy in Florida.
