<div><em>A Burr Oak man simply wanted to gather some sweet corn for the family freezer.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>He didn&#8217;t expect to have to deal with an alligator rushing at him.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>Jeff Adamski was in a cornfield on a recent evening when two women came running from a few rows over, screaming that they had seen an alligator.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>He checked it out and sure enough, there it was.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>Adamski tells the Sturgis Journal he &#8220;backed away,&#8221; and the gator &#8220;darted at me.&#8221; He then backed up faster, and the animal kept coming.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>That&#8217;s when Adamski says he decided to deal with the problem, considering what an alligator could do to a child if he let it go.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>The newspaper reports Adamski grabbed a 4-foot bar out of his truck and killed the alligator.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>Burr Oak is about 80 miles south of Grand Rapids</em></div>
