WTLC reported it was not immediately clear if the man had done anything illegal.
With an alligator tucked under one arm, a man tromped into a Jacksonville, Florida, convenience store looking for a 12-pack of beer in recent days. The incident, which was caught on a viral, laughter-filled Facebook video, is being looked into by Florida wildlife officials, according to a local ABC News affiliate.
WTLC reported it was not immediately clear if the man had done anything illegal.
In the video, a man can be seen walking through the convenience store with what appears to be a 4- or 5-foot-alligator under one arm. The gator’s mouth is duct-taped shut, and the man can be heard asking, « y’all ain’t out of beer, are ya? » before turning his sights on another patron.
« Is he taking the last bit of beer? You aren’t taking the last bit of beer, are you? » the alligator-wielding man said before chasing after the other patron and laughing.
