An alligator walks into a bar in Florida...No, seriously
Officers arrived at the scene and said the gator was taken into custody without incident and no injuries were reported, just one wild story to tell and a few shaken-up cocktails. (SPD)
STUART, Fla. (CBS12) — It sounds like the setup to a joke, but for patrons at a local tiki bar in Stuart, happy hour came with an unexpected twist — and a few extra teeth.
The Stuart Police Department (SPD) posted on Monday that officers responded to a rather unusual call: an alligator had wandered into a bar, Harlow's Hideout. Unlike the typical rowdy guest trying to dodge a tab, this one had scales, a tail, and a knack for dramatic entrances.

Officers arrived at the scene and said the gator was taken into custody without incident and no injuries were reported — just one wild story to tell and a few shaken-up cocktails.
Police say that the alligator was relocated to a more "suitable venue, where the only cocktails are in the swamp and the sun never sets on happy hour."
