What would have made the story funny is if the daddy gator was nearby!


Goat


He was tied up in TX:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351565,00.html

A routine traffic stop was anything but ordinary for a Texas state trooper Sunday, when he discovered a wild passenger in the back of a suspect’s car.
Texas Highway Patrol officer Steven Stanfield stopped William Johnson, 30, along State Highway 35 after Johnson made a U-turn and almost hit another vehicle, MyFOXHouston reported. It was then that Stanfield noticed an alligator in the back seat of Johnson’s blue Buick, with no restraints on it.


Johnson passed a sobriety test, although Stanfield said he smelled alcohol on his breath, and claimed he was lost. Stanfield called a Brazoria County sergeant and a Texas game warden to the scene, where they learned Johnson had followed the alligator into a ditch and wrestled it into the back of his car.


Johnson also is accused of attempting to steal his boss’ large-screen television on the same night. The plot allegedly was foiled when his accomplice saw the alligator in Johnson’s car and dropped the TV, damaging it, MyFOXHouston reported.:laugh:


Johnson is in the custody of Brazoria, Texas, police while the alligator is in the custody of the Texas game warden.
 
Stolen alligator?

..I've gotten away with much worse! ;)


Your teen years are the time to let loose and have fun. Too bad those boys got caught. Most likely, if they haven't any priors, they will get some community service and have this expunged from their records.


...but boy do they look like a sad bunch. Kinda greasy lookin, but hey they're teenagers I suppose.
 
I don't know ......

Interviewer: "Any arrests/convictions?"

Candidate: Er.... yes sir. I tried to steal an alligator from an amusement park when I was at college. I was young and it was partly a peer pressure prank, but I learned a lot about CRM and teamwork. It was through that incident that I learned about professionalism and ethics.... in fact, I am now a much better person for it."

Excellent lad....welcome aboard!

Interviewer: (looks over his shoulder) So, uhhh, by the way, what were you going to do with that gator? (winks)

You know how it can be with management types...
 
All those kids looked under the influence in their mugs.
 
TRUST me on this one: Mug shots always make you look guilty.... even if you aren't, you weren't there, and they can't prove it :erm:
 
Question is- what were they planning on doing with the gator?

They are in training to someday be Regional FO's. They were going to cook and eat the damn thing because they can't afford to buy food.

There are several courses at Riddle that teach you how to hunt, scavenge, and gather food. Other courses cover mending uniforms, diluting the hair gel to get a year out of one tube, "I'll get the next round", jumpseating on mainline just to get something to eat, hotel hallway buffet, recycling condoms, how to get beer with food stamps, and many others. These guys were just doing homework.
Riddle really makes sure graduates are prepared for the poverty-stricken lives they are facing.
 
Yawn. Must have been a slow news day.

Toss 'em in jail with bubba for a day or two, and let 'em go with a stern warning and a sharp slap on the wrist. BFD. Not the first time some college kids pulled a dumb prank.

I pulled a ton of dumb pranks in Daytona years ago... Including one scavanger hunt that got a touch out of hand (a pink flamingo, a garden troll and a police cruiser were involved). The Daytona cops were pretty cool about it. Then again, I do remember getting hassled pretty good by the Daytona Beach Shores cops too... Well, had they thown me in jail, I guess I would have deserved a life sentence too, huh?:rolleyes:

That was your favorite part, huh, LPC? :p

DB hassling people? Hah. Got those morons for false arrest, accessive force, and violation of civil rights. Purchased me a new car, drumset, went to college, and learned how to fly with the settlement. :laugh:

I bet they were pissed when the cops made them take off their Ray Ban Aviator sunglasses for the mugshots.

So they tried to lure the alligator with a palm frond and duct tape? Coincidentally, that's the same technique Riddle guys use to try to pick up chicks.

I never had an issue with the DB cops, but the Shores cops, that was a whole 'nuther issue.
