Woman Gets Surprise When Alligator Shows Up At Door - News Story - WEWS Cleveland: "WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- A homeowner in Westerville, central Ohio, got a surprise guest last night: a 6-foot alligator named Penelope.

Emily McKenny said she heard a scratching at the side door to her house, looked down and saw the giant reptile's tail.

Authorities discovered two alligators living next door. Their owner, Paul Barrows, said he rescues reptiles.

Police said they won't charge Barrows with a misdemeanor for keeping the alligators but took Penelope and her friend to live at the Columbus Zoo until Barrows can find them a good home."
