Cops to Florida woman: Do you have anything else? She pulled a gator from her pants.
BY CARLI TEPROFF
MAY 06, 2019 06:25 PM, UPDATED 11 HOURS 26 MINUTES AGO
When a Florida deputy asked a woman if she had anything else on her during a routine traffic stop, he wasnt expecting what she did next.
She proceeded to pull an alligator out of her yoga pants (about one foot in length) and placed it into the bed of the truck, the Charlotte County Sheriffs deputy said in an incident report.
The bizarre encounter took place at about 3:30 a.m. Monday in Punta Gorda.
Deputies were stationed on Tamiami Trail conducting traffic enforcement when they spotted a blue pickup truck that didnt stop at a stop sign, according to the incident report.
The deputy asked for the drivers license, registration and insurance card. The driver, Michael Clemons, 22, told deputies he and his passenger, Ariel Machan-Le Quire, 25, were trying to collect frogs and snakes from under the overpass.
The deputy then asked permission to search the bags in the truck to make sure they did not collect any wildlife they were not supposed to have, the deputy wrote in the report.
