It's an epidemic.

This is the second guy today to go along with a few others in the previous days.

Maybe the CDC should investigate....

Riggins called his girlfriend on the phone to tell her he and an accomplice were being chased by authorities....

"I'm just devastated... The last thing he said to me was 'see you later' - "

He should have yelled “Hands up- don’t bite”.

I’m sure he was just trying to work his way through college, now he is just working his way through a gater.

Well, it’s all your fault, Major! If your people hadn’t been chasing him, he’d still be alive today! /s;)

"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."

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
