Video: 10 ft Florida gator bites down on police car bumper
Nothing like a good ol’ gator to take a bite out the law.
The Blaze reports authorities say Alachua County Deputy Victor Borrero spotted the gator Saturday evening near the
Gainesville Golf and Country Club. It attacked the patrol car while the deputy was waiting for an alligator trapper to show up.
Sheriff‘s spokesman Todd Kelly says the car’s front bumper was heavily damaged.
A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokeswoman said the alligator was put down under the state’s nuisance gator policy. Under that policy, the trapper is allowed to keep meat and hide from the gator.
