Poaching doesn’t pay!
When a Road Ranger stopped to assist someone they thought was a stranded motorist but then saw two people far off the roadway with what appeared to be a freshly killed alligator, the Florida Highway Patrol relayed the information to our officers. The two subjects were seen loading the alligator into their truck and taking off on I-75. Utilizing traffic cameras, our officers were given real-time information as they responded, allowing them to work with FHP to apprehend two people with the poached alligator rolled in a tarp. When the officers uncovered the alligator, they found the long metal shaft though its skull was still connected to a speargun. Both individuals were charged with the illegal take of an alligator and taken to jail.
