A 20-year-old driver was able to elude Pinellas County deputies at a traffic stop, but then was bitten by an alligator early Thursday.
Deputies pulled over a vehicle that was not staying in a lane about 2:47 a.m. Thursday. Bryan Zuniga, 20, stopped the vehicle, but then jumped out of the passenger side door.
Zuniga kicked a hole in a vinyl fence so he could escape, deputies said, near the 7100 block of 78th Avenue N.
He was found hours later at a hospital being treated for multiple puncture wounds to his face, arm and armpit, police said. He told deputies he was attacked by an alligator near a water treatment plant between Westchester Boulevard and 71st Street N. in unincorporated St. Petersburg.
He was released from the hospital and transported to the Pinellas County Jail without further incident.
Zuniga, of 8481 54th St. N. in Pinellas Park, faces charges of breaking or injuring fences, fleeing and eluding a police officer, driving while his driver's license was suspended/revoked, and resisting an officer without violence.
He was being held on $6,300 bond.
The investigation continues.
“charges of breaking or injuring fences”
I hope some ‘bipartisan’ republicans will mend fences.
The gator was thinking,”Hey I didn’t order fast food,but since it’s already been delivered....”
Give that gator a badge and let him clean up Miami.

Go Gators!
Some days you can’t win for losing.
No need for this clown to buy any lotto tickets. He just used up all his luck. Or maybe it was a small gator. One thing for sure in FL. If there’s water, there’s likely gators.
Injuring fences? Good Lord, I know Florida is overregulated, but shiite.
Hopefully, he didn’t hurt the fences’ feelings too.
Most police departments have a K-9 unit but they have a gator unit. Who’s the lucky cop who gets to ride around with him and take him home at night?

What about being charged for harassing wildlife?
Good one!
