At approximately 5 a.m. this morning, Britney Spears, 27, was found lying on the ground in St. Augustine, Fla on the campus of Flagler College with what appeared to be bite marks on her right foot. Spears was spotted near a patch of bushes outside the entrance of the nearby male dormitory Lewis House by Flagler Security Guard Hector Gonzalez, who rushed to the scene upon hearing Spears scream, “Oh my god, oh my god, an alligator bit me.”
After inspecting Spears’ injuries and spotting the reptile escape into the bushes, Gonzalez quickly called 911 at 5:10 a.m. An ambulance arrived shortly after and treated Spears for minor bite wounds. She was released shortly after.
Police Chief Bubba O’Conner answered questions at a press conference that took place a few hours after the event. According to O’Conner, Spears was visiting a male friend and had arrived in her limo, which was parked out front of the Lewis House dormitory. The limo driver was present at the time of the incident but did not witness the event. There were no other known witnesses.
Animal control officers were called to the scene and conducted a search for the alligator at around 6 a.m. after learning that Gonzalez had spotted the reptile; however, the crocodile was not found. After questioning, Gonzalez estimated the crocodile to be nearly nine feet in length. Police Chief O’Conner speculated that the alligator might have escaped from the nearby Alligator Farm, a local attraction a few miles away that houses captive alligators for public viewing.
It is not known if the encounter will affect her career; however, it is unlikely that she will have any long-term affects.
