The alligators, which officials said were healthy and in good condition, will now be taken in by Detroit Animal Care and Control, which can then authorize the sale of the animals, transfer ownership of them or euthanize them.
DETROIT, MI-- Some of these scaly creatures may say “See ya in a while,” or, “See ya later,” but not the handful found by Detroit police in a home they were serving an eviction notice at on Friday., a 36th District Court bailiff showed up to a home on the 9800 block of Yorkshire Boulevard around 2:30 p.m. Dec. 16, with a lawful court order to evict the tenant.
The male tenant had fled prior to officers arriving, police said. Officers and the court official returned to the east-side residence to find one adult and three baby alligators inside a tank, police said. Detroit Animal Care and Control officials were called in to handle the alligators, with the larger alligator fighting to escape custody but able to be brought under control with no human or animal injuries reported, police said.
