Wild Florida: Two gators found in an SUV that rolled over on a Florida roadway

HARDEE COUNTY, Fla. – Florida Fish and Wildlife officers were called to the scene of a rollover accident involving two alligators earlier this month.

When officers arrived to the scene in Hardee County on Dec. 9th, they found the more than six-foot and eight-foot-long gators hanging out of the rear window of a white, late model Ford Explorer, resting on its side.

According to officials, the suspects found on the scene, Carlos Peralta and Devan Medrano, admitted to killing the gators while fishing. They said they loaded them into the SUV to transport them.

Both alligators did expire. The suspects are facing charges.
