Big alligator spotted in Sims Bayou

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- SkyEye 13 HD caught some amazing pictures of a big alligator cooling off in a local bayou on Thursday morning.

The gator was spotted swimming in Sims Bayou near I-45 and Park Place. You could see a few people walking along the bank taking pictures a safe distance away.

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, they get more reports of gator sightings between the months of March and May because they prefer sunny mild days.

At last check, everyone just let this gator go on its way.

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Detectives say they've arrested four burglary suspects after someone spotted them jumping over a Fort Bend County house's fence with trash bags in hand.

Rosenberg resident Jeremy D. Bryant, 19, and Richmond residents Keith Booker, Demarquis D. Faniel and Kory T. Aldridge, who are all also 19, were each arrested on a burglary of habitation charge, according to a Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office statement. Booker is being held on a $40,000 bond, while the other three suspects had bonds set at $20,000. Detectives say the men are accused of burglarizing a home in the 6000 block of Kearney Drive in the Tara subdivision on April 6. A witness contacted the sheriff's department after seeing four suspects hop over a backyard fence carrying trash bags and circling the block in a vehicle. Deputies say they confirmed that a home in the area had been broken into during their investigation. Several electronics reportedly taken from the house were recovered. (Copyright ©2011 KTRK-TV/DT.
