    Code compliance official finds alligator in North Carolina attic

    UPI – A county code compliance official in North Carolina made a surprising discovery in the attic of a home under construction – an eight-foot alligator.

    The New Hanover county government said county code compliance official Dean Brown was inspecting a new home under construction in the Carolina Beach Road area when he encountered the large reptile in the attic.

    “The workers having lunch sitting the next room – I asked them to leave,” Brown told WWAY TV. “They kind of laughed at me when I told them why, and I said, ‘Well, you might want to look, because there’s an alligator in the attic.’”

    The county government shared a photo of Brown’s discovery on Facebook. Brown said the attic gator was a first for him.

    “You’ll see nothing major, I have seen squirrels, of course, small rodents. Squirrels, probably the biggest ones I’ve seen in the attic. I have seen a gator that was in the yard, kind of sunbathing, back in the ‘90s. You know, I really didn’t think much of that. I have run into several snakes,” he told WECT-TV.
