The alligator was shot in the head as it swam in a pond in Fort Myers.

Killing or injuring an alligator is a third-degree felony in the state. However, Price's charge has been reduced to a first-degree misdemeanor for cruelty to animals.If Price is convicted, he could face a maximum punishment of one year in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

Last year, Florida saw 12 recorded alligator bites on people, none of which were fatal, though eight of those incidents"required medical care, beyond first aid." The FWC's safety recommendations include taking extra precautions near water. It advises keeping children and pets a safe distance from water, and swimming only in designated swimming areas during daylight hours.
