Florida Man Kills 5 Small Alligators, Eats Them For Super Bowl Dinner

A Florida man looking for something a bit more exotic than hot wings for a Super Bowl meal decided to kill some alligators and eat their tails, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Richard Nixie, of DeBary, allegedly caught five small alligators with a trap for his dinner on Super Bowl Sunday, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a report obtained by the newspaper.

The 30-year-old then cut off their tails and ate them, wildlife officials say.

Nixie was arrested Sunday and charged with possession and taking alligators without a proper tag, the News-Journal reported. Officials say he admitted to killing the alligators, which were less than five feet in length.

Nixie was released on $500 bail and is expected to appear in court in March.
