Good Samaritans Who ‘Found' Alligator in NJ Lot Actually Abandoned Reptile There: SPCA

Savion Mendez of East Orange, and the alleged finder Angel Rosario of Asbury Park, were identified as the main persons of interest, the Monmouth County SPCA said. Although the Monmouth County SPCA says that "at no point was the alligator left in a dangerous or life-threatening situation," both Mendez, Rosario, and even Rosario's parents will face charges in connection to the young alligators abandonment. The reptile has since been taken to the Cape May Zoo. The owner of a young alligator discovered earlier this week inside a plastic container in an empty New Jersey lot was located and is now facing charges, according to officials, this after authorities found out that the "good Samaritans" that called in the discovery, was actually behind the reptile's abandonment.
