Adrian Apgar, the Polk County man who has twice made headlines after having naked encounters with alligators -- including one that attacked him, has been arrested for missing a court appearance.
Apgar did not show up for his May 14 arraignment in Polk County Circuit Court and so a warrant was issued for his arrest. He faces charges of exposure of sexual organs, trespassing, and disorderly conduct stemming from his most recent incident.
In March, Polk deputies found Apgar naked in a pond at Saddle Creek Park walking toward an alligator about 50 feet offshore. The only way to that location was through thick brush.
The deputies who helped talk Apgar out of the water were already familiar with the man.
In November 2006, he made national headlines when deputies rescued him from the jaws of a large alligator in Lake Parker, located west of Saddle Creek Park near Lakeland. Apgar was naked and told his rescuers he had taken drugs.
The Polk deputies who rescued Apgar in 2006 said they engaged in a tug of war with the alligator. The reptile ripped off much of Apgar's left arm and bit his back, buttocks and thigh. Apgar spent months recovering from his life-threatening injuries at Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
He is being held at the Polk County Jail on $1,500 bond. |
