LARGO, Fla. – A more recent officer with the Largo Police Division is a New York transplant and had a really jumpy response to his first gator encounter.
The backstory:
Largo cops had been known as to a house just lately as a result of an alligator wandered onto the property.
In video shared by LPD, Officer Martinez may be heard saying he wished to provide you with a sport plan for the way he was going to take the gator from one other officer holding it.
He even tells the gator, “You may have huge enamel, and I’ve tiny fingers.”
The officer holding the alligator tells him she is going to drop him if he drops the gator and guarantees to take the reptile again if something goes awry.
She provides that it’s only hissing a little bit bit.
When the officer palms over the gator, it thrashes and Officer Martinez screams.
