Florida man 'tried to get an alligator drunk by pouring beer down its throat'
Daily Mail UK ^ | 10/07/2019 | Jerry Barmash

Two Florida men are accused of capturing an alligator from the side of the road, holding it down, and pouring beer down the reptile's throat - while one of the men encouraged it to bite his arm.

Timothy Kepke, 27, and Noah Osborne, 22, allegedly filmed the incident around 10pm on August 26 in Palm City.

In a police report, Kepke claimed Osborne grabbed the animal with his bare hands from the side of the road. Kepke was apparently bitten by the animal on his right forearm before pouring the beer down its throat, but it's not clear how serious the injury was.

Both men were arrested on October 3 after police became aware of a video the pair made of the incident. The video has not been released by police, and it's not clear if it was circulated before their arrests.

Thank God it’s Florida. Cops should shoot the two assholes and give the gator a tetnus shot for biting a rabid jerk and in the morning give the gator some vitamin C and an aspirin. This is why we carry concealed. We shoot animals to save animals.

“Hole muh beer”

In this instance it was actually “Hold muh alligator”

I can’t really see that there would be any other way of doing it.

They look like a couple of inbreds. I’d bet it was a little biddy gator.

I would suggest a “Florida Man” ping list, but I don’t want to be bombarded with 50 notifications per day...
