Teen’s arm eaten by alligator

A Florida teen wrestled with an alligator and lost during a late night swim in a canal.

Kasey Edwards, 18, of Okeechobee, Fla., lost his left arm after grappling with the 11-foot long alligator in a canal at 2 a.m. Sunday.

“I felt something lock down and had the sensation of needle nose pliers, just a gigantic set of them, clamping down,” Edwards told FOX affiliate WFLX-TV.

Edwards admits he and his friends were drinking before he decided to jump in the 25-foot-deep canal in Nubbin Slough in Okeechobee County.

“I’ve heard different rumors of what was involved and there were no drugs involved, no dare, nobody pushed me in or something,” Edwards told WFLX-TV.
