Trapper wrestles alligator on Florida highway median

  • Mike Dragich, a licensed gator trapper known as the Blue Collar Brawler, wrestled a large alligator from the median of I-95/I-295 in Jacksonville on Sunday.
  • The capture occurred after reports from drivers prompted assistance from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, state wildlife officials, and highway patrol to apprehend the alligator near Jacksonville's Southside area.
  • Officials posted a video of Dragich’s barefoot encounter with the aggressive gator, which received nearly 10 million views by Wednesday and showed the animal giving a death roll.
  • Dragich said the experience exhilarates him and raises his adrenaline, but emphasized that others should exercise caution and avoid approaching these animals without proper experience.
  • The event, described as a typical Florida occurrence, added another capture to Dragich's record and highlighted the ongoing cooperation between trapper and law enforcement agencies.
