MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. (WPRI) - A man made an unusual discovery in a Middleborough river last week.
He says he fished a two-foot long alligator from the Nemansket River Friday.
The man took the reptile to the Massachusetts State Police barracks in Middleborough.
It was held there until Massachusetts Environmental Police could come to pick it up.
Police are not sure where the alligator came from.
It is illegal to keep them as pets in Massachusetts.
