\u201cOnly in Florida . . .\u201d jokes the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office in a social-media post sharing a video of a barefoot man wrestling a giant alligator on the side of a highway. \u201cJust another totally normal day in the Sunshine State.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mike Dragich, the Blue Collar Brawler, is the barefoot man who stepped in to help the Sheriff\u2019s Office earlier this week when they needed to get a large gator away from the road.<\/p>\n
In the video, Dragich manages to subdue the large reptile and lift it into the bed of a truck for relocation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you were cruising down I-95\/I-295 on the Southside yesterday and thought you saw a barefoot man wrestling a giant alligator in the median\u2014nope, your eyes weren\u2019t playing tricks on you,\u201d the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office explains in its post. \u201cThat really happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
The online community is loving this footage, and the fact that this guy is apparently on the Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s speed dial.<\/p>\n
From the look of Dragich\u2019s social-media profile, he has a lot of experience wrangling gators.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly state where the PD calls a random dude with no shoes,\u201d jokes one commenter.<\/p>\n
