Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

His crime partner isn't cooperating...maybe a trip to the local gator park is in order...a little Amos Moses action.

In most states, if anyone dies in the commission of a crime all perps are guilty of murder...

That would be unfair to the gator if it met the same end as the first. Otherwise, game on.

They shouldn’t have killed the Gator, they should have fed him the partner in crime.

Poor gator...

"Riggins body was found in the lake 10 days later. As deputies tried to pull his body from the water, they encountered the aggressive 3.4 metre-long alligator.

After the alligator was euthanized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, forensic investigators found the burglary suspect's hand and foot inside the reptile's stomach, officials said.

It was determined that Riggins drowned as a result of the attack by the alligator.

'He hid in the wrong place,' Laura Farris, a Barefoot Bay resident told Bay News 9."

Alligator Helps St. Lucie Cops Take Bite Out of Crime


By Space Coast Daily
May 18, 2014

Alleged car theft suspect, Calvin Rodriguez, was arrested this week in Port St. Lucie thanks in part to an alligator.

The Port St. Lucie Police Department got an unexpected assist from a Port St. Lucie reptile resident last week as police apprehended suspected car thief Calvin Rodriguez.

Suspect hit alligator crossing the road

PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA - The Port St. Lucie Police Department got an unexpected assist from a Port St. Lucie reptile resident last week as police apprehended suspected car thief Calvin Rodriguez.

"It's pretty unimaginable that police officers would be at that point in time looking for these suspects and that an alligator unfortunately just happens to cross the road and assist us in catching these criminals," said Det. Keith Boham.

According to the police report, Rodriguez is responsible for stealing at least five cars which were parked in area supermarket parking lots.

The police also said, Rodriguez was using 'shaved keys' which could open car doors and start Acura and Honda vehicles.

Rodriguez is facing five counts of Grand Theft Auto. The alligators condition is unknown at this time.

Too bad they killed the gator. They could have made him a police auxiliary and given him a little badge.

Now, Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by his self in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin’
He just knocked ‘em in the head with a stump

Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
It ain’t legal huntin’ alligators down in the swamp boy
Now, everybody blamed his old man
For makin’ him mean as a snake

When Amos Moses was a boy
His daddy’d use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

Jerry Reed - Amos Moses

Too bad they didn’t have one of those Cop Caravan Funerals for the gator. Maybe name him Gator McClusky.

“He called his girlfriend and told her he’d be in the area breaking into homes.”

What a thoughtful guy.

He could have become a Democrat politician.

He could have become a Democrat politician.

And done his stealing legally.

"I would say it's poetic justice, you want to sit there and steal from people," Barefoot Bay resident Chuck Stokes said.

I agree, poetic and perfect. I wish the gator would have eaten both those thieving POS turds.

It was once that way in Florida. But now, as with everything else, who knows?
