The man told deputies he heard a loud noise around 7:30 a.m. on March 3, but thought it was store employees pushing carts.
The man told deputies he got out of his RV to go to work and noticed the shark on the RV's hood. He said he took the shark off his RV, laid it on the ground and went to work.
Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were called to the scene, and picked up the shark for disposal.
According to the incident report, deputies reviewed surveillance footage from the store but the location where the shark was found is not in view.
