A Florida man wrangled a gator on May 21 in the parking lot of a Jacksonville elementary school, video shows.

Trapper Mike Dragich, known as the "Blue Collar Brawler," wrestled the gator that was described as "large, aggressive and had become used to people." The decision was ultimately made to put the gator down.

Dragich harvested it and planned to give the meat back to the community, possibly at a cookout for the people who witnessed him wrangle the gator.
