A Charlotte county homeless man was bathing in a pond on the other side of my town and encountered an alligator that tried to pull him deeper into the pond. Gator got his finger, a couple of toes and a testicle. The guy walked to the nearest health care center and they took him to Lee Memorial Hospital (trauma center similar to Christ Hospital).
The guy plans to return to the area once he is released. Has no money to pay his hospital bills, of course.
You would think a 20 year resident would know enough to be careful if they are in standing water, especially in the spring/summer during mating season.
