Yes. Definitely an interesting new development. And certainly blows his case that he didn’t know he was trespassing.
I knew a couple that lived in rural Virginia in the mid 1990s in a campsite, outhouse for the bathroom facilities and hunted for food, squirrel, possum, snakes, deer, etc and lived off the land.
That's basically what I did in 1989 - lived in a 25' tall tee pee for six months (beginning of May to mid-November). The big difference was that we were set up in a private campground, so we had access to real bathrooms and showers. We fished for dinner probably 80% of the time.
Can confirm gator is amazing. People aren't kidding when they say it tastes like chicken.
When the police informed @TheRealBobIger and I that someone was on the island we went and joined them on their helicopters. I finally thought we were going to catch Sonswa and if we were lucky I was hoping to find Buzzy too. Sadly when we found the guy we saw that he was just an average citizen practicing safe social distancing. Against our wishes the cops arrested the guy because he "broke the law" or something. I presented him with a Social Distancing World Champion limited edition button as he was put in handcuffs.

He could say that no trespassing signs were not in his language.
I would think being in the middle of a gator and brain-eating amoeba filled lake would be more than enough to keep people away, but apparently I'm wrong on that count.
Not to mention every other not so friendly species of animal in Florida taking up residence on the island. God only know what craws, slithers or swims around that island. Nope!
We live nearby, and my now college-age daughter was in a Rowing Crew on the lakes just north of WDW. Plenty of gators and snakes, but none of the kids ever got brain-eating amoebas. And they were in the water on the Chain of Lakes daily for years...
