A good Samaritan found the 3-foot juvenile alligator inside a plastic tub in a lot next to his house in Neptune Township in the freezing cold Sunday evening.
A Neptune Township man has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of another man, according to Monmouth County prosecutors.
Last month, an 18-year-old Maine resident visiting the Jersey Shore died after a large sand hole that he and his sister were digging collapsed around them.
