A Little Much
A Florida man has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon for throwing an alligator into a Wendy's drive through window.
There is no way a 3 1/2' alligator could be considered a deadly weapon.

Here is a guy being bitten and the ensuing wound. I have been bitten by gators slightly smaller with no lasting effects at all. Smaller gators are more agile. But,it isn't until they top 7" that they a risk to serious injury to humans.
I would have died on the spot. Just sayin'......
He probably just wanted them to fry up some gator tail instead of the usual fries.
It was a kid that did something dumb as a prank. Nobody got hurt and no property was damaged. Kinda sad to see that they're trying to stick him with a charge like that...Originally Posted by Batch
In my limited experience, cops charge high so the prosecutor can bargain with the defense attorney for a plea deal.
In the end, it will probably be a lesser assault charge or a combination of inducing panic with disorderly conduct.

Did I mention I would have died on the spot?
Assault with a dinosaur....Sounds serious to me.....
"...Aw he is just a kid....a harmless prank......the guy in the window had a heart problem anyway.....No big deal"
Too bad the isn't a charge for being stupid.....

Well Mom's "Boys will be boys" attitude says volumes.
On a mean note, I would pay to see the security vids of the chaos inside when that little guy came flying in.
Plus one on that.......

Dollars to donuts this isn't the first time he did something "stupid" like this. He needs to be taught a lesson before he graduates to stupider and stupider things.
Make him work the drive thru window at night and donate all his earnings to the humane society. Put Mom in the back on French fry duty.
Are you sure? Your friends all say different.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

He meant to the gator.
Yeah, ADW is certainly a bit much, but the story made me nearly fall out of my chair laughing. Florida Man strikes again.

My own kinda joke finallyME and Rick follows through! LMAOAre you sure? Your friends all say different.
I wouldn't have a problem one with him being made to work there for a while. That sounds like back when the world made sense.Make him work the drive thru window at night and donate all his earnings to the humane society. Put Mom in the back on French fry duty.
Charging kids with felonies because you want them to plea to a misdemeanor is just bull.
In this case....I have no sympathy, that poor kid is 23......

poor alley gator i'm sure he was devistated could sue for emotional duress or something.
Seems a bit rough on the gator....wasn't bothering him any.
See, though, this is going to become a precedent setting case. Eventually twerps who decide to fling gators who were just trying to do alligator stuff of an afternoon through drive through windows will be charged with "assault with a carnivorous reptile", but until then deadly weapon will have to do.
Yep.......
I understand that Florida is considering a law that would require registration of all alligators. They will have to be single fling only and can only be carried in a cage while in your vehicle and not accessible to the driver.
