Joshua James, 23, of Jupiter, allegedly pulled up to the
drive-thru window for his order, got a drink from the employee, and then threw
the alligator into the restaurant, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission told the station.
James is 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 Sheriff’s
Office.
The incident occurred at a restaurant east of Loxahatchee,
Fla., in October, but James was arrested by U.S. Marshals this week, WPTV
reported.
