A retiree from Indiana started a panic today as she started spreading false new stories as fact on the internet. The retiree (who chose to remain anonymous but will be referred to as Lynn in this article) caused a local government panic when she shared a false news story as fact on Facebook. The article, stating that an alligator was sighted in a Beech Grove, Indiana creek by some boys, was taken as legitimate news by Lynn's friends and acquaintances on Facebook.

A number of Lynn's followers called the local Beech Grove Police Department and reported the alligator. BGPD contacted the Beech Grove Animal Control Department and informed them about the rogue alligator. Animal Control officials promptly informed BGPD that alligators were not within its means to handle.

"Alligators? We don't do no alligators", stated John Phillips of the Beech Grove Animal Control Department. "This ain't Louisiana or Florida. We're only equipped to handle stray household animals like cats, dogs, and weasels."

With no other options, Police Chief Mark Swartz deployed the BGPD SWAT team to the local creek to search for the alligator. The arrival of the SWAT team unfortunately sparked the curiosity home owners in the neighborhood. Many homeowners in the area immediately contacted numerous local real estate agents in the area and immediately put their homes on the market for sale.

Mary Cunningham, a local resident near the creek, was shocked by the sudden devaluation of her home. "With all of these here homes put on the market in just a matter hours, I've had to put a selling price on my house that is only pennies on the dollar."

Shawn Spencer, a local REMAX agent stated he wasn't terribly excited about the new clients he suddenly gained. "No one wants to live anywhere in Indiana where there's a possibility of having a gator in your back yard. Besides, with the extremely low selling prices on these houses, I'll probably lose money trying to sell them with the extremely low commissions I'll be making."

Local authorities still haven't found any sign of the alligator. "That doesn't mean it's not there" stated Chief Swartz. "It just means that we've had to resort to more drastic measures to find it. Two hours ago, we contacted the Dr. William Williams of Dundee Croc Adventures and Petting Zoo in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Williams is flying in to help us confirm the location of the alligator."

When asked if a crocodile specialist all the way from Australia was the best person to bring in on the case, Swartz stated that he had seen all three Crocodile Dundee movies. "Since the passing of Steve Irwin, Dr. Williams is our best bet."

This story is still developing and will be updated.
