JUNE 22, 2001 The wife of an employee of the Seminole Tribe of Florida nabbed a mysterious reptile in New York's Central Park on Thursday night and no, it was not Donald Trump. Mike Bailey, 23, and his wife, Tina, made the trip to find the creature, which was thought to be an alligator. Using her bare hands, Tina caught the 2-foot long caiman -- a member of the crocodile family -- after just 15 minutes of searching. Park officials said they were impressed with Mr. Bailey's knowledge of alligators and reptiles. He is an alligator wrestler at the tribe's Okalee Village. The caiman, nicknamed Damon, is being held while park officials consider what to do with it. Get the Story:
