CHICAGO (AP) – Chicago isn’t quite ready to say see you later, alligator.
The Chicago Sun Times reports that officers serving a search warrant at a Northwest Side house found a 3-foot alligator along with some guns and drugs. They turned the alligator over to animal control.
The discovery comes about a month after an alligator swimming around a city park lagoon captured the attention of the city for about a week before the alligator was captured by an alligator hunter the city flew up from Florida to handle the job.
And just a couple weeks ago, two brothers posted on Facebook a video in which they claimed to have found another alligator in the lagoon only to have police come to suspect they may have put the alligator in the lagoon themselves.
