St. Augustine Record | March 9, 2017
A St. Johns County sheriff’s deputy responded to a strange call Friday afternoon when an assistant manager at Walmart on U.S. 1 called authorities saying she had found a 4-5 foot dead shark in the store’s parking lot.
In his report of the incident, the responding deputy noted that the shark was in a shopping cart near an RV that was parked in the lot.
The assistant manager said she called authorities because she didn’t want to throw the animal in the trash.
The deputy called the owner of the RV who said he was from West Virginia and in the area looking for work. He told the deputy he heard noise outside his RV early that morning but assumed it was employees gathering carts. When he left the RV to go to work later in the morning, the man said he saw the shark on the hood of his RV so he placed it on the ground.
