The woman whose lifeless body was found clenched between a 14-foot alligator’s jaws was arrested just two months earlier for trespassing on county wetland property.
Sabrina Peckham, 41, was identified by police Saturday as the victim being dragged by the beast in a canal along a residential street in Largo, a small community just four miles south of Clearwater.
The homeless woman was caught by Pinellas County deputies around 6:30 a.m. on July 14 for trespassing onto county wetland just half a mile from where she was found dead Friday, court records show.
Peckman ignored posted signage warning against unlaw entry.
After pleading no contest to the misdemeanor, she was released from the county on Sept. 8 and was ordered to $500.
It is not clear where the transient woman went in the two weeks before she was discovered dead in the waterway... Records show she had a history of run-ins with police dating back to 2014, including multiple charges for trespassing.
Peckman also had multiple drug and theft convictions lodged against her.

The area is near the popular Ridgecrest Park, which includes a 5-acre lake known to house alligators.
The gators routinely wander the neighborhood, according to neighbors, but the one killed Friday was one of the biggest some had ever encountered.

homeless in florida. Dangerous.
Any way we could dump a bunch of alligators into the Capitol Building in DC and lock the from the outside for about a month?
*lock the doors
Results in your being alligator food!
Human interest story?
What a terrible way to go.
“...she was ... ordered to $500...”
Says the “urinalist”.
How many more people or pets (killed) will it take before Florida decides it would be ok to hunt and kill alligators at any time of year without a license? They aren’t an endangered species anymore.
Bleak.
This is one is hard to digest.
“That’ll learn her!”
Big sucker

No pics ?
Or any property belonging to Gyorgy Schwartz?
11. I thought that was what Monica Lewinsky said, or was it Kamala Harris? Or Jean-Pierre whoever? Definitely not Hillary!
See the link at post 13.
Poorly summing up the alligations.
What retail value does a dead gator really have these days?
Shoes, purses, coats probably all use artificial hides, except for the occasional tailor of the very wealthy.
I tend to doubt something that looks like a gator would taste anything like a chicken. The Chinese can’t use them as Lab Rats for their next homemade pandemic.
Is there any place in the 21st Century for these Old World critters who refuse to leave?
I need a couple alligators.
