A Florida woman has given new meaning to the term “snappy dresser”, pulling a small alligator from her yoga pants during a traffic stop.
Key points:
- The driver of the vehicle told police he and his female passenger had been collecting frogs and snakes
- More than 40 three-stripe turtles were found in the woman’s backpack
- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is handling the investigation
The ordeal unfolded when a Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputy stopped a pickup truck Monday afternoon (local time) in Punta Gorda after it ran a stop sign.
The 22-year-old driver Michael Clemons told authorities he and his 25-year-old passenger Ariel Machan-Le Quire were collecting frogs and snakes under an overpass, and gave the deputy permission to search bags in the truck.
When the deputy found 41 three-stripe turtles in the woman’s backpack, he asked if she had anything else.
That’s when investi-gators were greeted to an unusual sight: a 0.3-metre gator.
“Not to be outdone by #FloridaMan, a #FloridaWoman pulled this alligator out of her pants,” Charlotte County Sheriff’s officials wrote on Twitter.
“[It happened] after being asked the standard ‘Do you have anything else?'”
#FloridaMan is an internet meme, in which users submit unusual or strange crime stories or events where the term “Florida Man” is mentioned in the headline.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission took over the investigation.
