Alligator bust in Roswell

July 29, 2011

a roswell man will not face charges after turning in a one and a half foot long alligator to animal services. the owner dropped the gator off yesterday and told workers he could no longer care for it. the gator is the third one to be dropped off at the roswell shelter this year. a drug bust in march netted two alligators. it is illegal in new mexico to have an exotic animal without a permit.
