FWC: Two men arrested, after convenience store run involving alligator on Jacksonville’s Westside

Jacksonville, FL — After video showing a man running through a Westside Jacksonville convenience store on an apparent beer run went viral, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is announcing two arrests in connection.

FWC saying they've arrested Robert Barr, 28, and Kevin Keene, 23, for illegal possession of an American alligator, illegal exhibition of dangerous wildlife, and cruelty to animals. Barr is also known to go by the name Robby Stratton. We're told all of the charges are first-degree misdemeanors.

Stratton has told our partner Action News Jax he doesn’t remember anything from the night of the convenience store video, citing the influence of alcohol.

If you have any information, you're urged to contact the FWC’s Wildlife Alert hotline at 888-404-3922.
