Barefoot gator-wrangler traps 8-foot gator along I-95 in Florida

When police in the Sunshine State have an alligator problem on a highway, they call the right Florida man for the job.⁠

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office in Florida released a video and details about the "only in Florida" situation in which a large alligator was in the median of the southbound lanes of I-95.⁠

If motorists "saw a barefoot man wrestling a giant alligator in the median—nope, your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you. That really happened," the sheriff’s office wrote on social media.⁠
