Gator-napping

From Albany, Georgia:

Van Hai Tang, of Gainesville, Ga., was charged with taking the 3-foot alligator, which [Flint RiverQuarium] workers recovered about an hour later.
According to APD reports, an aquarium employee, Richard Brown, called police. The report states that Brown told authorities a man had scaled the wall of the RiverQuarium and was seen in the alligator tank handling the reptiles.
Brown said he was later seen by construction workers at the bridge under construction on Broad Avenue carrying the alligator, named “Nubs,” across his shoulders. Brown said he was advised that the man had tossed the alligator into the Flint River. Brown told police he and other aquarium employees then went to the river and retrieved the gator.
Three to four RiverQuarium employees used poles and nooses to retrieve the animal from the river, and the source said one of the men was bitten by the gator during the retrieval process. The reptile then had its mouth taped shut, a bag placed over its head and was walked back to the RiverQuarium.
Since Nubs, who was unharmed during his adventure, was exposed to the Flint River, he is being held in quarantine for the next 30 days. 

Nubs!
