Nude Crack Man in Alligator Rescue
 Newswires
In further news of the misadventures of people who are naked, a naked man on crack was pulled from the jaws of an alligator in Florida on Wednesday.
He was only saved when sheriff’s deputies jumped into the lake where he was being eaten, and wrestled with the alligator until it let go of the man, before pulling the man about 40m back to the shore.
They had responded to several reports from members of the public that screams had been heard coming from the lake, at around 4 o’clock in the morning.
The man – identified as 45-year-old Adrian Apgar – lost his left arm in the alligator attack, as well as suffering severe injuries to his right arm and left leg. His right leg is believed to be fine.
‘He was totally naked,’ noted Sheriff Grady Judd.
He admitted to the deputies after he was pulled from the water that he’d been smoking crack. No explanation has yet been offered for why he was naked, although police have not ruled out the possibility that he might have decided to go for a swim.
Judd added: ‘He admitted that he’d been smoking crack cocaine. But still, it’s a human life. Our deputies don’t ask questions, they respond and they save people.’
At the time of writing, the condition of the alligator is unknown. |
