Florida has been the subject of some crazy news. However, this one may take the cake. An Alligator mississippiensis, is more commonly known as the Florida gator. Recently, one is know by another name... Wanted fugitive.Officers recently detaining an alligator has received global media blow back. The arrest occurred during a tense Florida protest.

A zoo translator tells us, the gator stated "we may be different species, but every Floridian deserves rights."Yet, police paint a different picture. A patrolman, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells us that the alligator was aggressive, and most likely high on bath salts. "That is fake news propaganda!" a representative of the Florida Alligators Registry Team (FART) responded. The group has vocalized many accusations of gator profiling.However, the rep admits the gator in question has had a problem with bath salts in the past. Furthermore, that treatment and understanding is a better alternative to imprisonment. Some health experts have alternatively suggested the alligator may have COVID-19.
