LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Clarksville Police Department is reminding everyone not to leave pets behind when moving to a new residence.

The reminder came after officers were sent to the Pioneer Village apartments after a small alligator was found around 5 p.m. Nov. 18.

The department posted a picture of the reptile on its Facebook page. Officials said the gator is doing well and has been released to officers with Clarksville Animal Control.

The former tenant of the apartment has been identified, and an investigation will determine if charges are warranted.
