Shortly after 3am on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, a citi Shortly after 3am on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, a citizen called to report a 4 to 5 foot alligator in the roadway near the intersection of SW Williston Road and SW 34th Street. Deputies responded quickly and were able to safely capture and relocate the gator to a nearby body of water, all within about 30 minutes. With all the rainy weather lately, it seems the gators are feeling a little extra adventurous. Then again, this is Gainesville… “the Swamp” nickname exists for a reason. #gators #theswamp #gainesville #gatornation #gators🐊
Lt. Eric Hutchinson and Deputy Bobby Stafford are Lt. Eric Hutchinson and Deputy Bobby Stafford are currently in our nation’s capitol assisting with motorcade escorts for the families of law enforcement officers who lost their life in the line of duty in 2025.

Hutchinson and Deputy Stafford for serving these families with the utmost professionalism as they continue to grieve.
