SUNRISE (CBSMiami) - An alligator in Sunrise found with an arrow protruding from its side was euthanized.
State-licensed trapper Bill Gilmartin said he got a call about the animal early Wednesday from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
When Gilmartin arrived, he says, there were also two Sunrise police officers in the street near the gator.
Gilmartin says the alligator was trapped and euthanized because it posed a danger.
Gilmartin says the closest canal was several blocks away. It's not clear how the gator was injured. It's a felony in Florida to kill or injure an alligator.
