A social media stunt has landed a Louisiana man behind bars.

Jacob Pursifull is seen on video jumping over a fence to sneak into Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay.

The 20-year old then walked to the alligator exhibit and jumped in the water with the animals. Two of his buddies, who tagged along from the suburbs of Baton Rouge, caught it all on camera.

Pursifull was about five feet away from an alligator before climbing out.

He's now under arrest for burglary, theft of services and trespassing.
