Palm Bay, FL – A 22-year-old man reportedly out to burglarize a few homes in Brevard County found out the hard way that crime doesn’t pay.

He discovered too late that crime does not pay.

Unless you’re a politician.

Cool! Alligator hero.

The gator should be given free chickens every day for the rest of his life!

Sad, now wait for the law suit against the golf course (If it was one)for not having a dangerous alligator removed. We have a 6-7ft one who sun bathes on our property, if he gets much larger, he’ll disappear.(Legally)
