A man who tried to trade a live, four-foot alligator for a pack of beer at a Miami convenience store was cited for charges related to illegally capturing the gator, officials said.
Fernando Caignet Aguilera was cited after he tried to trade the gator for beer at the Santa Ana Market at 3000 Northwest 12th Avenue back on Dec. 10, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said Tuesday.
"I have never experienced anything like this in 25 years in law enforcement," Pino said.
On Tuesday evening, several news camera crews gathered outside Aguilera's Allapattah home seeking an interview, but he became hostile.
Aguilera reportedly demanded money, and when he did not get it, he shouted obscenities and lunged at a WSVN photographer, video showed, and broke his camera. Miami Police were called to the scene, and a report was filed against Aguilera, according to WSVN.
