LUSBY, Md.
Over this past weekend, Adams set up trap lines with hooks to catch the alligator, WJLA reported.
“People were saying how I shouldn’t have done it because it’s tame,” Adams told WJLA.
Adams said the gator measured 7 feet, 6 inches, and estimated that it weighed 150 to 175 pounds, the Post reported.
Reaction was mixed on social media after news of the alligator’s killing became public.
“My husband is not just a mean animal-hating man,” Jessica Adams wrote in her post.
“Maryland Natural Resources Police are still consulting with allied agencies, local and federal, on this matter,” DNR Gregg Bortz said in a statement.
