The owner is credited with photographing the suspicious tire tracks near his barn, finding the suspects, questioning them, then alerting the authorities.
The victim forwarded the photographs he took as well as filed a theft report with a Livingston County sheriff's deputy, who eventually spoke with one of the suspects.
That person told the deputy that his "friend Douglas Ward" got the alligator and when the deputy asked the speaker his name, he replied, "Douglas Ward," Bezotte said.
