Gator nabbed in Detroit suburb

TRENTON, MI Deputy Chief James Nardone says officers nabbed the reptile Tuesday as it strolled along a suburban street in Trenton, Mich.

He says the gator is probably someone's pet. He joked Wednesday that it likely didn't swim into the suburb, which is perched on the shore of the Detroit River.

Authorities are holding the alligator at an animal control office until it can be moved to a nonprofit rescue that handles abandoned exotic animal cases in nearby Belleville.
