A Maricopa County, Arizona grand jury indicted a man on Tuesday for allegedly trying to sell a baby tiger to undercover officers on social media.
Police also found several other animals like baby snapping turtles and a baby American alligator.
Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchel announced the indictment against Alcaraz on Tuesday, more than a month after he was arrested. "One of my priorities when taking office was prosecuting crimes against animals as they are some of the most vulnerable in our community," Mitchell said."It is reassuring to know that after law enforcement intercepted, the tiger cub was removed from the home, taken to a safe place and is currently in good health."Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
