CAMP COUNTY, Texas — An East Texas homeowner admitted to killing and trying to sink an alligator to hide the crime at Lake Bob Sandlin.
Texas Game Wardens recently found a dead alligator floating in Lake Bob Sandlin. When they arrived, they found the gator was shot and tied to a large architectural stone with a ski rope, according to a social media post from the Game Wardens.
Through an investigation, the Game Wardens found a house with stone matching the one used to try to sink the alligator. They interviewed the homeowner, who admitted to shooting the alligator with a .308 rifle and trying to sink the animal to cover up what happened.
Game Wardens issued citations and civil restitution was filed.
