Victor Rivas is the 40-year-old Louisiana man who was bitten by an alligator after a dramatic swamp escape from police during a suspected drunk-driving stop in St Charles Parish. The incident, which took place on Sunday evening, has captured public interest following the release of bodycam video showing the attack.
Rivas, from Montz, was driving a Toyota Supra that had already been involved in a hit-and-run style crash earlier that day in Jefferson Parish, prompting initial warrants for careless operation.
