Odds are he tasted like cigarettes and some form of government cheese.
According to Huffington Post, a 22-year-old Palm Bay man who told his girlfriend he and another guy were going to break into homes last month thought it would be a good idea to hide in a pond when police began chasing him.
It was not.
Police discovered what was left of Matthew Riggins floating in a lake in Barefoot Bay ten days later. They also found an 11-foot alligator that was quite pissed they were removing Riggins’ body, which was missing the lower halves of his legs and part of one arm, from the water.
In fact, the gator was so damn “ferocious” that it had to be euthanized by a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission trapper.
One nearby resident told a local news station that it sounded like Riggins “hid in the wrong place.”
Um, no shit.
No word if the alligator will be given some kind of medal of honor posthumously for saving the taxpayers a boatload of dollars.
