Tyler and Rickey Lowe's Thursday night feud came to a head when they tossed each other's exotic pets out the window of their shared apartment and into the snow, according to Alaska State Troopers.
Tyler, 33, threw Rickey's pet alligator and Rickey, 30, launched Tyler's crocodile from their Wasilla apartment, Alaska News Source reports.It is not clear what anime kicked off the dispute.
State troopers were able to locate the alligator, which survived, but were not able to locate the croc, who is presumed dead, according to the report.
A neighbor recounted his bizarre encounter with a trooper who was tasked with finding the very out-of-place critters.
''They go 'Have you seen an alligator run past here?' And I go 'You guys are kidding, right?','' Matt Strickland, next door neighbor to the Lowe brothers, told Alaska News Source.
Strickland, who has lived in the apartment building about an hour outside of Anchorage for a month, said he had no idea that a croc and a gator were right next door.
Troopers were called by Rickey Lowe from the street after he left the apartment with his 2-year-old child, according to the report.
The brothers were both arrested and charged with animal cruelty and assault.
Rickey Lowe faces additional charges of DUI and child endangerment.
