Florida woman who pulled gator from yoga pants gets probation

A Florida woman who was arrested for pulling a small alligator out of her yoga pants during a traffic stop pleaded guilty to illegally possessing animals and was sentenced to probation, authorities said.

The woman, 25-year-old Ariel Machan-Le Quire, was arrested in May when she and 22-year-old Michael Clemons were pulled over by Charlotte County cops after Clemons ran a stop sign, according to police.

The pair told the officers they were collecting frogs and snakes underneath an overpass and gave them permission to search the car and bags they had, authorities said.

Cops discovered 41 turtles in a “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” backpack, and asked Machan-Le Quire if she had anything else unusual on her.

She then pulled a 1-foot-long gator out of her yoga pants and handed it to the officers, police said.

Machan-Le Quire was sentenced to probation Thursday for possessing the animals. Charges against Clemons were pending.
