Another Gator, Guns, Drugs Seized From Chicago Apartment
The 3-foot gator was turned over to animal control, but no one was in custody as of late Monday.
CHICAGO — Weeks after the Humboldt Park gator Chance the Snapper captured Chicagoans' hearts — before being captured himself and relocated to Florida — police seized another small alligator from a northwest side apartment. Officers executing a search warrant in the 4000 block of North Troy on Monday night found a three-foot alligator, along with multiple guns and narcotics.
Police, who found the reptile at around 9:38 p.m., have not made any arrests in the case, which remains under investigation.
