Michael Marolla was arrested with loaded guns, meth, and a live alligator in a container in the bed of his truck.
Where is this on a scale of 1-10 for Florida?

Looks like a Collier County 5. Just another normal Sunday.

Sounds about normal, to me.

Wow this is some bs. They recognized him from past encounters and pulled him over?

Maybe a 3 or 4. Meth on a Sunday, with no Fentanyl? Might bump it up to a 5 for that.

If you read the article, it was only a baby alligator.

East Coiller County - just another day

Oh, so what is the official cut off for having a live alligator in your possession while jacked up on meth?

NBD.

Where the F else do you keep your alligator when you travel?

Of course. He probably has a nice smile.

Was that deliberately imprecise?

Deputies reportedly "recognized the driver from previous law enforcement encounters as having a suspended license."

Is having your license suspended a condition that can be changed at any time, or is it possibly part of sentence?
An expired license you can resolve with a trip to the DMV, or if your license is suspended and the cop knows this because he pulled you over yesterday, is that something you could have fixed, or not? I believe in the case of an unpaid fine you can immediately resolve it by paying the fine and paying for reinstatement. In such a case I think the cop’s cause for a stop doesn’t hold up.
But if this guy had a sentence that included suspension of his license for a set period, is it unreasonable that a cop would have become aware of this member of the community (e.g. a prior stop) and his license status, and then see him on the road the next day (week, etc) and know he can’t be driving legally?

I think it's referred to as "Monday".

Gator exterminators are actually a thing.

Meth, guns and alligators, pretty normal for FL
