Man makes beer run with alligator with taped mouth

-

A man made a beer run into a Florida convenienc­e store carrying a live alligator with its mouth taped shut.

Video posted by television station WTLV shows the unidentifi­ed man walking into the Jacksonvil­le store holding the gator with his right hand.

He walks with the gator toward the counter, asking, “Ya’ll ain’t out of beer are you?”

He then sees someone in the back of the store and says, “Is he taking the last bit of beer? You aren’t taking the last bit of beer are you?”

The man with the gator jokingly runs at the other man as people in the store laugh. He then grabs a 12-pack of beer.

The television station said Florida wildlife investigat­ors are looking into the incident.
