Florida man arrested for reportedly tossing gator into Wendy's
A Jupiter, Florida, man was arrested for throwing a live alligator into a Wendy's restaurant drive-through east of Loxahatchee, according to WPTV.
Joshua James, 23, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, illegally killing, possessing or capturing an alligator, and second-degree larceny petit theft, according to the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office.
He has not been released on bail as of Monday afternoon. WPTV reports that the incident occurred in October, but James had only been arrested recently by U.S. marshals.
Officials with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told WPTV that James pulled up for his order, and after a server handed a drink and turned around, James tossed the 3 1/2-foot gator into the drive-through window.

then only the criminals will have alligators. We need more good guys with an alligator out there.

3.5 foot gator tossed into the teeny window of a drive-thru from the drivers seat
around and over the steering wheel through the vehicle window. I dont care living or dead thats a lot of animal to toss in the best of circumstances.
I wish there was video!
