Insurance claim denied after gator breaks into home

Clearwater, Fla. — The insurance claim brought by a Clearwater woman after an 11-foot alligator went crashing through a kitchen window has been denied.

The story of the gator break-in made headlines on May 31, 2019.

Homeowner, Mary Wischhusen,  told reporters she filed the claim hoping her insurance company would make an exception.

Unfortunately, Florida Peninsula Insurance has denied the claim saying the police does not cover wildlife.

Now,weeks later, the 77-year-old does not know where to turn saying she simply does not have enough money to fix the window or the other wall damage left from the alligator.
