(Not the alligator from the story)

(Not the alligator from the story)

People see strange sights at bars.  The patrons of Johnny’s Saloon in Huntington Beach, CA witnessed something they aren’t likely to forget.

Around 1:00 AM on Saturday, November 8th, a local man attempted to bring a leashed three-foot alligator into the punk rock bar.

As you might guess, the slow-moving reptile and slow-thinking owner were not welcomed in.

“We received an anonymous phone call that somebody had an alligator in a vehicle,” said Ryan Drabek, spokesman for the Orange County Animal Care.

Sure enough, when police officers arrived, they found the man and his alligator inside his vehicle.  A chat with the gentleman convinced officers that they should visit his home.

A second alligator was found at the home.  Both reptiles were taken by Animal Control.

The man will not be left empty-handed.  The Department of Fish and Game is expected to issue him a citation as keeping alligators as pets is illegal.
