Miami, FL – Social media influencer Yabdiel Annibal Cotto Torres, known online as \u201cBaby Alien,\u201d avoided jail time after resolving criminal charges tied to a livestream involving the alleged shooting of an alligator in the Florida Everglades.<\/p>\n
According to court records, Cotto Torres entered a no contest plea to a misdemeanor charge of unlawfully discharging a firearm in public. <\/p>\n
The case stemmed from a March 26th livestream that allegedly showed several individuals firing weapons near what wildlife investigators described as an apparently dead alligator during an airboat trip in the Everglades.<\/p>\n
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials launched an investigation after clips from the livestream spread across social media and generated public attention online. <\/p>\n
State wildlife laws prohibit shooting, harming or killing alligators without authorization from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.<\/p>\n
As part of the plea agreement, Cotto Torres was sentenced to six months of probation and ordered to complete 20 hours of community service. <\/p>\n
Court records also require him to complete firearm safety training through the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. <\/p>\n
Officials said he could face additional penalties if he violates probation conditions.<\/p>\n
The investigation also involved Braden Peters, known online as \u201cClavicular,\u201d and Andrew Morales, who uses the online name \u201cCuban Tarzan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both previously received probation sentences after entering pleas connected to the same incident.<\/p>\n
Attorneys representing Peters argued during earlier court proceedings that no living animal was harmed and stated participants were allegedly following instructions from a licensed airboat operator during the outing.<\/p>\n
The case gained widespread attention online due to the influencers\u2019 social media presence and livestream activity connected to internet personality culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miami, FL – Social media influencer Yabdiel Annibal Cotto Torres, known online as \u201cBaby Alien,\u201d avoided jail time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85000,23311,23307,84998,84996,123,125,124,115,84997,807,84999,729,221],"class_list":["post-280741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-clear-channel-miami","tag-coast-to-coast","tag-glenn-beck","tag-hannity","tag-jimmy-cefalo","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-news","tag-schnitt","tag-south-florida","tag-the-weather-channel-wall-street-journal","tag-traffic","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
