Charges Dropped Against Students Who Stole Gator

POSTED: 7:42 am EDT June 17, 2008

Five students from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University who tried stealing a baby alligator from a miniature-golf course in Daytona Beach will get the charges dropped.

Prosecutors say as part of the plea agreement announced Monday, the students must do a year of community service. They will also have to do an anti-theft course, take random drug tests, pay fees to the city and they can't visit the golf course.

Police say two students climbed into the gator exhibit at the Congo River Miniature Golf in April while the others served as lookouts. They tried trapping a baby gator using a palm front and duct tape, but had no luck.

In 2001, two tourists were arrested for taking an alligator from the golf course and swimming with it in their hotel pool.
