12 Year Old South Carolina Kid Wrestles Alligator
For South Carolina 12-year-old Joey Maffo, it's not unusual for a typical summer day to include wrestling an alligator twice his size, as he did this week.
Maffo's grandfather runs Hilton Head Island's Critter Management wildlife control company and received a call Wednesday that an alligator had attacked a woman near a lagoon.
Tamra Shattuck, 50, had been walking her and a friend's dog around a lagoon when the gator lunged out of the water toward her. The animal bit her ankle but she and the dogs were able to escape with minor injuries.
That's when she called Joe Maffo, 68, for help. Maffo, who called Shattuck a "very tough" girl, headed over to her house.
