A Broward judge read their charges Wednesday and said men told authorities they had caught the gator by accident.
"Boy, that's some dumb luck," Broward Judge John Hurley said. "Just accidentally caught an alligator."
Hurley let them leave jail without having to pay bond, but not before setting some terms.

"Don't accidentally catch any alligators," Hurley said. "If you see an alligator, walk away from it. It may accidentally get in the back of your truck. You never know about those alligators."
