Florida Man Claims Dead Alligator on Car Roof Is 'Emotional Support Animal, Just Tired'

POLK COUNTY, FL — A Florida man pulled over on I-4 with a dead alligator strapped to the roof of his 2003 Honda Civic told responding officers that the animal was his emotional support pet and was “just taking a really long nap.”

Anthony Buhl, 34, and his companion March Chadwick, 29, were stopped after multiple motorists called 911 to report what appeared to be a six-foot reptile lashed to a sedan with bungee cords and a length of garden hose.
