Summary:
An animal control officer turned in a baby alligator that he owned. Although it is illegal for the general public to own an alligator in New Mexico, the officer will not be disciplined as he was relatively new to his job and he turned the animal in voluntarily. It was unclear where the officer obtained the alligator.
