Man on beer run chases people in Jacksonville store with live gator
By David Hayes
JULY 30, 2018, 5:20 AM
A man made a beer run to a Jacksonville convenience store while carrying a live alligator, then posted a video of the prank on Facebook.
He yells: "Ya'll aint out of beer are ya? Is he taking the last bit of beer? You aren't taking the last bit of beer are you?"
The man then runs toward a customer with the gator which had its jaws taped shut and grabs a 12-pack, Wink News reports.
Florida wildlife investigators are said to be looking into the incident.
First Coast News spoke to the man who posted the video, and he said it was "all fun and games. I knew everybody in there."

(66,328 posts)1. No word on whether it was Florida Man.
If he had been drunk and naked at the time, that would have confirmed his identity.

(12,051 posts)2. Well, as a native Floridian, I can attest that this is pretty normal beer-run behavior.
He had the gator's jaws taped. He was being safe about it. It was a good joke.

Give him a break. He can't be everywhere -- just to satisfy your need for a yuck or two.

If the mouth is taped, it's like the safety's on! Gotta be a Florida gator, tho, because imports of assault reptiles are illegal now.
