WKMG reports:
A Deltona man has been arrested on charges of alligator poaching on Monday morning after deputies say his mother called the cops on him because he wouldn't remove the alligator from his bathtub.
According to the report, Lewis' mother told him to move the alligator from the home several times, but Lewis said he would after a few days. When he wouldn't remove the alligator, his mother called Volusia County deputies, who removed the alligator from the home.
The alligator was found in the tub, partially filled with water and with a cinder block in the middle to provide a piece of dry land. A light was positioned on the alligator to provide artificial sunlight, deputies said.
