An alligator was found in The Rock River. A three eyed fish, someones car, a bunch of Lori's ex-boyfriends maybe...But an alligator?  It is illegal to have one as a pet in Illinois, according to Winnebago County Animal Control this one probably was. The positive that comes from this, once the little guy is all healed up they will be used to educate people about alligators. Also when "Albert" is fully healed, I plan on having him in studio as a special guest. Maybe take him out on remote as my sidekick...None of that is true. Here is the full story about The Alligator found in The Rock River. wifr.com

***So this story was from four years ago. Still cool though.
