Hope it's the former, not the latter.
It's an invasive species, wreaking havoc on the natural populations of Lake Tahoe. It and its whole family must die. I guess you could put it in a large tank, but putting it back in the water is a terrible idea.

I hope shes just picking it up for the photo op and they didnt kill the poor thing.
