Two Live Alligators Found at McCracken Home

A man faces charges, after officers found two alligators at a McCracken County home.

The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says a tip on Thursday led officers to the home, where they found the two five foot long reptiles. 

A 55-year-old Paducah man at the home reportedly admitted to having the alligators. He was charged with two counts of propagation and holding of wildlife without a permit. Each count is punishable by up to a $500 fine.

Conservation officers seized the two alligators and brought them to the Kentucky Reptile Zoo in Slade.
