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.
According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, a burglary suspect they were actively looking for on Nov. 13 realized deputies were hot on his trail and chose to hide near Barefoot Bay lake. That decision proved fatal.
While hiding near the water, it seems the burglary suspect, identified as Matthew Riggins, ran afoul of an 11-foot alligator. Seeing easy prey, the gator attacked.

Two important takeaways:
1. Moats work in Florida.
2. The government hates any competition that might hurt their job security.

Cute graphic, but the gator is clearly made out of rubber & Styrofoam.

A gator with a taste for thieves.
Can we relocate that gator to Washington D.C.?
Maybe clone it a few million times.

I'm wondering how these critters would do in a new habitat a little to the west. Here's Ramos in the area I have in mind.
To: Timber Rattler
Was the gator a racist? Or did the gator just do what came naturally?

At least he died doing what he loved. And so did Mr. Riggins.

Deputy: What will the charges be, Sheriff?
Sheriff: Well, he didn’t actually burgle any houses. But it looks like he tried to steal more alligator than he could swim with.

I Used to live by Barefoot Bay. You would have to be a complete fool to go into a fresh water lake in FL. Most of the Gators you can’t see.
