A Miami high school student who was arrested last week for trying to perform Randy Orton's signature RKO move on his principal was arrested again for pulling the same stunt at a local mall.

Video posted on social media shows Gianny Sosa-Hernandez, 18, jumping over a wooden barrier, grabbing a display alligator, and throwing it into a pond inside the mall. The alligator, valued at $3,690, was damaged in the stunt, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Sosa-Hernandez faces a charge of criminal mischief.

Sosa-Hernandez was charged with battery on April 11 after another video surfaced of him trying to RKO his principal at Southridge Senior High School.

The alligator stunt occurred late last month at The Falls shopping center, according to Charles Rabin and David Ovalle of the Miami Herald. Mall management contacted police after being notified about the Southridge video.
