    HOUMA, Louisiana (WDSU) — A Houma police officer was called to a school campus this week to remove an unwelcome intruder.

Officer Donald Aubrey responded to a report of an alligator on the campus of Little Caillou School on Wednesday.

In a video posted to the department’s Facebook page, Aubry can be seen wrangling the small alligator with a stick before scooping it up and releasing it back into the wild.

No one on the campus was injured, and the alligator was also unharmed, according to police.

This wasn’t Aubry’s first encounter with wildlife this week.

He was also called to a home to remove a large python over the Memorial Day weekend.
