After owners of a Southeast Texas marina spotted an 11-plus foot alligator, they put up a warning sign: “No swimming alligators.” But that didn’t seem to faze 28-year-old Tommie Woodward, who was hell-bent on taking a night swim. Woodward, who was with a female friend, took off his shirt, mocked the alligator, responded to verbal warnings by a marina employee by cursing the alligator, and jumped into the water.

After a short struggle the man disappeared under the water, which was near the Louisiana border. For more details, click here.
