Hiding Criminal Eaten By Gators
If personal morality, prison time and shame aren't enough to keep you from breaking the law, how about the danger of being eaten by alligators?
Such was the fate of a suspected thief in Florida who decided to hide from law enforcement officials in a lake before being dragged beneath the surface by an 11 - foot alligator. According to Fox News, 22 year - old Matthew Riggins' hand and foot were found in the stomach of the creature, while injuries on his body indicated he'd been pulled under and then drowned.
The alligator was aggressive towards divers and was euthanized.
