A Florida man was arrested Monday and charged with assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill after allegedly throwing an alligator through a fast-food chain’s drive-thru window in October.
This Oct. 12, 2015 photo provided by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission shows an alligator in the kitchen of a Wendy's Restaurant in Loxahatchee, Fla.
Joshua James, 24, threw a 3.5 foot alligator through a Palm Beach County Wendy’s drive-thru window nearly four months ago, according to Florida Fish Wildlife and Conservation officials. He was also charged with illegally possessing an alligator and petty theft.
A report that James drove his pickup truck to the window at about 1:20 a.m. Oct. 11 was written by wildlife officer Nicholas Guerin. When an employee handed James his drink, he tossed an alligator through the window and sped off.

Tiny. Hardly a deadly weapon.

Didn’t Neil Young do a song called, “Florida Man”?
If not, maybe he should have...

Was it an AK47 alligator? Alligators need to be outlawed.

I never did that when I was growing up in Florida. I swear. Other things I am not talking about.

Maybe it was just a request for a special menu item?

When an employee handed James his drink, he tossed an alligator through the window and sped off. An anonymous source reported that, as he sped away, he was heard to yell back at the window, "See you later, alligator!"

If he’s cited for cruelty to an animal will it be for the gator or the fast food worker?

What is the statute of limitations for illegally possessing an alligator? Asking for a friend.
