Snapchat video shows alligator being dragged behind ATV, FWC investigating

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking into a video posted on Snapchat that appears to show an alligator being dragged behind an ATV.

WESH reports that the man driving the ATV dragged the tied-up alligator because it was blocking traffic, but investigators say he should've called FWC or 911.

An FWC officer and a trapper were expected to go out to the man’s home in Mims Monday night to recover the animal. We’ve contacted FWC for an update and to find out if the man will be facing any charges.
