BAREFOOT BAY, FL (KTRK) --
Police in Florida now know what happened to a burglar who hid from officers. He was eaten by an alligator.

Matthew Riggins, 22, and an accomplice had reportedly been committing burglaries late November 12. Early the next morning, deputies say they spotted the two suspects, who fled on foot.

Neither one of the suspects were caught, but ten days later, Riggins' remains were found floating in a lake. An aggressive alligator was nearby. A trapper was called to capture the 11-foot gator, which was euthanized.

A forensic examination showed remains consistent with the injuries to Riggins inside the gator's stomach.

Police believe Riggins was attacked by the gator while hiding from authorities in that lake.

Rather than having been destroyed, the 'gator should have been given a security badge and a flashlight!

I was thinking that, rather than kill the alligator, that alligator should have been hired by Florida's Department of Corrections to handle prisoner executions. Just toss the condemned person in an enclosure with the alligator.
