Man Killed By Alligator At Indian Reservation

Man Killed By Alligator At Indian Reservation



MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. A man who allegedly was fleeing police was attacked
and killed by an alligator in a pond. Miccosukee police, assisted by
Sweetwater canine units, responded to a call on the Miccosukee Indian
Reservation about vehicles being broken into. Police captured one man, but
another fled on foot and dove into a retention pond. Signs warned of the
danger of live alligators in the pond behind the casino and hotel.
Eyewitnesses said they were shouting to the man to swim back to shore. When
the man finally spotted the alligator, they say he screamed but then
disappeared under the water. The body was recovered Friday by divers 50 feet
below at the bottom of the lake. He was bitten on the head several times.
The alligator and another smaller one were later trapped and brought to All
American Gator in Pembroke Park for inspection by the Miami-Dade medical
examiner.

A clear cut case of deadly force applied to a crime that did not justify it.

Greg will be along any minute now to tell us how all alligators should be
banned. JOF may beat him to it.
