Game wardens said they had to put down a nine-foot-long alligator that they found at Claremore Lake.

The wildlife department said it got reports of the large gator about a week ago.

They said because the reptile was a public safety concern, trapping it wasn't an option -- so they had to euthanize it Friday.

Wardens think someone likely released the alligator into the lake recently.
