ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Wearing little more than underwear and a pair of Crocs-style shoes, a Florida man broke into the St. Augustine Alligator Farm and jumped into a crocodile pool.

As you can imagine, the crocs were not happy.

St. Augustine Police say Brandon Hatfield was seen on surveillance video breaking into the farm at about 7:45 p.m. Monday. Officers say he was seen climbing into the Nile Crocodile enclosure and then jumping into the pool with the reptiles. 

At least one attacked him, causing wounds to his feet and leg. 

 

Hatfield was charged with burglary, criminal mischief, and violation of probation. He was taken to Flagler Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. 

Officials with St. Augustine Alligator Farm said Hatfield damaged property at the attraction's snack bar, including statues and exhibits, causing in excess of $5,000 in damage.

The crocodiles were not hurt.
