Who knew there were alligators in Arizona? If you’re on meth, anything’s possible. Via AZFamily:

A man is facing multiple charges after police say he broke into a random Phoenix home while naked over the weekend, a house occupied by several children. The suspect, 68-year-old Eugene Howard Shelton, reportedly told investigators he did it because an alligator was chasing him.

Around 2 p.m. on Saturday, police responded to a reported burglary at a home on Windsor Avenue, near 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road. An officer arrived at the address to find a naked man, later identified as Shelton, lying naked on the driveway with the homeowner standing next to him.

Per court documents, Shelton told police that he smoked methamphetamine before thinking an alligator was trying to get him.
