A Miami man was arrested during a 'vigilante-style' operation aimed at catching child predators. The operation, orchestrated by YouTube personalities Vitaly and Adin Ross, involved baiting the suspect into meeting a supposed 15-year-old boy in Southwest Miami-Dade, police said. The suspect, who thought he was meeting a minor for sex, was instead confronted by the livestreamers and an alligator. The legality of the operation is now under scrutiny by the suspect's lawyer.
