When Gators Go Bad

From the Chicago Tribune: Spurred by the shooting of an off-duty police officer, a three-month joint investigation of a street gang faction ended this week with eight arrests in Summit and Chicago, along with the confiscation of guns, drugs -- and an alligator.
After an arrest was made in December's shooting, authorities began an investigation into the Latin Kings gang faction the suspect belonged to, targeting drug sales in Summit and the Chicago Lawn police district on the Southwest Side, according to a CPD news release issued tonight.

On Thursday warrants were served in both locations, leading to the arrests of eight people on drug or weapons charges, and the seizure of two loaded handguns, quantities of cocaine and cannabis, cash, and an alligator.
Details about were exactly where the 3-foot-long American alligator was found were not immediately available, but Cook County animal control officers took custody of the reptile and turned it over to the Animal Welfare League, according to Chicago Police News Affairs.

So, was the gator a security gator or a drug using gator?
