FLORIDA MAN ARRESTED AFTER SMUGGLING A BABY ALLIGATOR ONTO A CITY BUS IN A GYM BAG TAMPA, FL — Colton Reyes, 27, was arrested after lining a gym bag with damp towels and boarding a public bus with a live baby alligator tucked inside, causing a panic when the animal's head emerged near his seat. Transit officials said the bag had been sitting undisturbed on Reyes's lap for nearly ten minutes before the alligator shifted and poked its snout through the unzipped top, prompting nearby passengers to scramble toward the front of the bus. Lined the gym bag with damp bath towels to keep the alligator calm during transit Boarded using a standard adult fare card like any other passenger Told responding officers he was "taking it to a friend's house" and didn't own a car Kept the bag zipped only partway to let the animal breathe during the ride Was detained at the next stop after the driver radioed dispatch about a disturbance Passengers said the bus emptied out almost entirely within seconds once the alligator's head became visible, with several riders filming from a safe distance near the exit doors. "In fourteen years driving this route I've dealt with disruptive riders, but never a baby alligator riding along in someone's gym bag," said transit officer D. Moten, badge 1216. He toweled his gator down for a bus-line ride, got pulled off two stops short with nowhere to hide.
