Jail house croc

Police at Gunbalanya in the Northern Territory captured a 2 metre crocodile that was reported loitering near the township by concerned locals. The police captured and bound up the croc and kept her in the jail cell for 3 days. The policeman was quoted;
"I wanted to jump on it Steve Irwin style," he said. "But (the rangers) wouldn't let me."
Perhaps they didn't want him to use unnecessary force.

A few months earlier Police at the same community shot dead a crocodile that was also found walking overland. On this occasion they stated that the crocodile had become aggressive and was attacking a fence. A fence which apparently was the barricade between the crocodile and the safety of the waterhole on the other side.
