Alligator found in suburban home evicted after 26 years

Charles Price was charged with a misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of an endangered species after the Illinois Department of Natural Resources removed the 200-pound alligator from his home earlier this month.

WLS-TV reports (http://abc7.ws/1JvxErC ) the alligator lived quietly in Price's basement until an appliance repairman working there spotted the 6-foot reptile in a cage and alerted Lansing animal control officers.
