FLORIDA MAN STRIKES AGAIN!
DATELINE - Dixie County and the Saga of Florida Man David Godfrey.
But before we get to Mr. Godfrey, let me tell you a little story.
Today is my oldest daughter's birthday, and I think she was around three years old. We were driving through the Great Swamp. If you've been through there, you know what it's like.
It's very pretty. A lot of wildlife in there.
While we're driving through one of the back roads and there's a turtle attempting to cross the road, You know how slowly turtles move. And I'm thinking, there's no way this turtle is making it across the road alive.
Doing our good deed
So I say to my then three year old daughter, "Courtney, hey, let's do our good deed for the day and let's move this turtle."
Well, now, when you're three years old, this is pretty exciting stuff. And for days, all she could talk about was how she and daddy saved a turtle.
Because I went out and I picked it up, I moved it across the street to the other side. I assume that's where it was going. I hope that's where it was going.
At any rate, we had done our good deed.
So how does this relate to Florida Man, you ask?
Just a routine stop
Well, Godfrey was stopped on Northeast 227th Avenue in Dixie County. It was a routine traffic stop.
It was routine until the police noticed an alligator in a bag in the back of Godfrey's SUV.
According to the Florida Wildlife Commission, Godfrey said he saw the gator crossing the road and was afraid it would get hit by a car. So he picked it up, put it in a bag, and then planned to release the gator into a pond.
Yeah, right.
I don't know about you, but I'm not going anywhere near an alligator. Whether it's crossing the road or not.
Godfrey is facing the charges of unlawful possession of an alligator. Meanwhile, the Florida Wildlife Commission says the gator was released in a safe area.
A turtle. No problem. The gator. I'm not going anywhere near it.
