BELLEVUE, Ky. — Charges are pending after an alligator was discovered inside a basement in northern Kentucky.
According to Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement, two game wardens responded to a home in Bellevue, Kentucky last month after getting a report of an alligator in the basement.
============================================================== Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement on Friday
Game Wardens Jimmy Rice and Paul Sorrell seized a three-foot alligator from a residence in Bellevue, KY at the end of September. Bellevue-Dayton Fire Department had responded to a call at the residence and notified wardens about an alligator in the basement. A search warrant was obtained and executed, and an investigation followed after finding the alligator. The resident had purchased it at a reptile show in Indiana earlier in the year and had failed to check if it was legal to possess in Kentucky. Charges are currently pending in this case.

Gator in Kentucky? Ping!....................
Charges pending? What are they going to charge the alligator with? Trespassing?
The alligator’s lawyers says these are all mere alligations.
I’d swear up and down I didn’t know how it got there.
I don’t think their argument has any teeth.
DJ Lagway?
Looks too big to flush...(and if I had a nickel...)
I guess we’ll see the results of those story later and not after a while.
LOL, you’re very clever. Alligations indeed.’’
As for the alligator, I think it’s been treated very cruelly and should be taken back to the wild. It probably has children who miss him/her. Or not.
We must pass stronger alligator registration laws!
Gator control is the way to save our children.
HA!!
>> Game Wardens... seized a three-foot alligator
How big a gator? And what happened to his other foot?
Government has far too many laws, rules and regulations over us peons. Who cares if they have a small gator in their cellar?
Has it hurt anyone? If it does, that’s one thing, but if it hasn’t?
Too many nosey busybodies and Karens.
What a difference he makes.
Many years ago a friend of my dad was heading to Florida and asked if he could get him something. Dad replied an alligator. On his return, there was a young gator in a cooler. I was not in school yet, so it had to be pre ‘1960.
My father kept it in the bathtub. When mom wanted to bathe my sister or me dad would have get it out. I remember polaroids of it in the tub, I’m hoping to come aross those one day.
But, Venezuelan gangs are not really dangerous?
That’s a croc of sh*t.
Gater must be good eats for the owner. Otherwise, a stinky, dangerous varmint.
