HOWELL, Mich. -- Authorities say three intoxicated men stole a 14-foot flattened and preserved alligator, strapped it to a pickup truck and took it off-roading.
The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus reports that 55-year-old Douglas Ward of Linden, 60-year-old Roy Griffith of Linden and 53-year-old John Sanborn of Harrison are charged with breaking and entering.
The charges stem from a June 25 theft from a barn in Hartland Township, about 40 miles northwest of Detroit. Sheriff Bob Bezotte says the alligator's owner found tire tracks near his barn and followed them to a party in Deerfield Township where the men were driving their vehicles around in the mud.
The men are due in Livingston County District Court July 20.
The Associated Press sought comment from the men's defense lawyers Thursday morning.

Drunk driver with 15 sheep in his vehicle '32 times over alcohol limit'
The motorist, who was 32 times over the legal drink-drive limit of 0.05g/100ml in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, also had five boys and a woman in the back who were arrested with him.
According to The Times Live, the baa-rmy man had allegedly stolen the sheep from nearby farms.
It would appear this man isn't the only sheep fanatic out there, as earlier this year a new book revealed a flock of the farmyard animals was one of the purchases a new millionaire Lottery winner made.
Danny Buckland's offering, We Won The Lottery, outlined some of the bizarre spending habits of those newly in-the-money, including one who splashed out on a flock of sheep after winning a prize.
A spokesperson for the National Lottery said: 'Everyone thinks that winners automatically splash out on designer clothes and fast cars, but it isn't always the case.
'Winning the jackpot allows winners to follow their dreams, whether it is setting up a stud farm, getting Diarmuid Gavin to design your garden or collecting Action Men.'
