The story surrounding Reggie, the alligator in Harbor Regional Park, keeps getting stranger and stranger.
From the Daily Breeze: The alligator is still at large, but T-Bone isn’t
Sometimes you’re the hunter and sometimes you’re the prey.
Thomas “T-Bone” Quinn, the colorful New Orleans man who tried — and failed — last month to catch a defiant alligator loitering in a Harbor City lake, has himself been captured and shipped back home, court records show.
Quinn was arrested by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies Oct. 20 and extradited to Louisiana Nov. 5. Quinn’s mother said he was trying to start a new life in Los Angeles when he was nabbed for outstanding warrants related to probation violations. It seems Quinn was on parole, after serving time in prison for writing bad checks, said Sandy Quinn Barton from her home in Augusta, Ga. “He knew he was going to get picked up,” she said. “He’d have to know that. This is not his first rodeo.”
