ANOTHER WACKY NEWS STORY FROM FLORIDA: MAN KEPT ALLIGATOR IN SON'S BEDROOM
A Naples, Florida, man is facing felony charges after deputies said they found an alligator in his son’s bedroom. Deputies said they were searching Kevin Gill’s home on a warrant when they found the baby gator. Gill said his family found a bird attacking the baby gator and they were trying to protect it. Gill said he fed the gator fish and was trying to nurse the animal back to health. It is a felony to keep a gator in Florida without a license. “I didn’t think it was a big deal because there’s millions of them and they said they took them off the endangered species list,” Gill said. “I don’t understand why it would be illegal, and everybody that I’ve talked to is amazed that I was arrested for something like that,” Gill said.
* “Anybody seen Junior?” he added.
* You don’t even want to know what was in the baby’s nursery.
* This is almost as dangerous as dancing with Sharna Burgess. (See “Dancing With The Stars” story.)
* A bird was attacking the gator? This wasn’t a home – it was a special on Animal Planet.
* That bird needs glasses.
* Thank goodness the Burmese python slept through the whole thing.
* Just because gators are off the endangered species list, doesn’t mean we want your child to be put on it.
* It’s a felony, and there should be a little extra added for putting it in your son’s bedroom.
* Even the Swamp People thought this was nuts.
* Everybody you talked with was amazed you got arrested for this? You mean your other dumb-ass friends?
