Gator Update -- Further Proof that Alcohol and Gators Don't Mix

Outdoors Notebook: Sanford man bitten twice by alligator | jacksonville.com: "A Sanford man, who police said appeared to be intoxicated, was bitten by an alligator twice last week, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The gator was crossing a road when Dirk Alan Willms, 44, grabbed the gator by the tail, according to police and the FWC.

The 45-inch reptile spun and bit Willms on the leg and ran into some bushes on the side of the road. Willms followed the gator, reached into the bushes to grab it again — and was bitten again. Willms eventually caught the gator and took it home, the FWC said."
