Burglary suspect hides in Florida lake

[Clyde]

This is a great story about crime not paying!

A suspected burglar jumped in a Florida lake apparently hiding from law enforcement before an 11-foot alligator killed him, investigators said Monday. His hand and foot reportedly turned up inside the animal's stomach.

Brevard County Sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend he would be in Barefoot Bay to commit burglaries with another suspect. Authorities received calls Nov. 13 about two suspicious men in black walking behind homes and investigated. Riggins was reported missing the next day.

Pretty weird...most gators, contrary to popular belief, don't normally go after humans as a rule. Though, if in the water, and the gator is hungry....could definitely happen. Gotta love my state, as the largest supplier of weird news out there......
