Default Averted? Meanwhile, Man Arrested for Keeping Illegal Alligator


Indian River County Florida — A local man was arrested Tuesday for keeping an alligator in his hot tub, according to a Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission report.

Tony Wells, Jr., 32, was arrested at his home when FWC found an alligator kept illegally in a hot tub after serving a search warrant, according to authorities. He faces charges of possession of an alligator without a tag, and has been released on $500 bond.

When asked about the charges, Wells replied, “There are people making allegations against me, and I’m going to find out who those alligators are!”
