While people know to watch out for alligators near swamps and lakes, cars are a different story.
Police officers in California arrested a man who was found with an alligator in his car.
While the suspect was arrested due to having an open warrant, he will reportedly face additional charges related to the alligator.
Officers with the Anderson Police Department responded to reports of a potential drunk driver earlier this week.
When they arrived on the scene, they discovered that while the driver didn’t appear to be drunk, he was wanted for another offense.
