MONTVELD, Fla. (WFLA) – A man has been arrested after being accused of defeating a crocodile at a golf club.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Board officials responded to a Lake County Sheriff’s Office request for assistance on July 3rd with a report of a crocodile filmed without permission.
During the investigation, the FWC spotted a crocodile and spoke to multiple neighbors and suspect Hunter Clambo, 28.
According to the arrest report, the neighbour told the neighbor that on July 12, another neighbor asked how to clean the crocodile.
The neighbor also said that the man had planned to eat a crocodile, but decided that it wasn’t because he had been sitting for a while.
LCSO lawmakers took the FWC to the sideyard where the cut crocodile was found on the brush line.
The homeowner was interviewed, where she told deputies and the FWC that the man caught, beat and killed a crocodile across from the house in a waterway attached to Lake Apopka.
The woman said that before the man brought the alligator to the side of the yard, another man with “a lot of knives” had torn apart the crocodile and left it, the arrest report said.
On July 16, investigators met with Hunter Clambo, where they admitted that they had caught a crocodile and defeated it on July 12th and on a golf club.
Kurumbo was arrested and charged with felony and possession of a crocodile without permission.
