So, they swooped in and got the Florida man arrested. And boy, did they hit him with a bunch of charges. Illegal tire dumping, trying to nab an alligator, driving an unregistered vehicle, and, to top it all off, having an open container while driving. This guy was checking off all the boxes for “What Not to Do.”
Now, here’s a fun fact for Florida, it’s a third-degree felony to mess with gators. You can’t kill them, injure them, or even think about capturing them without getting into serious trouble. There’s a hunting season for these ancient reptiles, but it runs from mid-August to early November. If you’re lucky enough to get picked for the Alligator Super Hunt, you get until the end of December to bag yourself two gators. That is only for law-abiding Florida man.
If you’re itching to get in on the action legally, you can apply at a tax collector’s office, a license agent, or just hop online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com. But let this guy’s story be a lesson. Don’t be the next Florida man arrested. If you’re in Florida, respect the gators. Like maybe, you don’t shoot at them. And also, dispose of your tires properly. Make a swing out of them if ya have to. Let’s not add to the tire graveyard.
