         Man Arrested for Throwing Alligator Into Fast Food Restaurant

   by VOA News

   A man who allegedly threw an alligator through a fast food drive
   through window as a "prank" in southern Florida now faces criminal
   charges.

   Authorities say Joshua James, who is in his 20's, threw the gator
   through the window last October as a joke on a friend who was working
   at the Wendy's restaurant in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Although the
   incident happened last year, James was taken into custody this week.

   "It was a stupid prank," his mother, Linda James, said.

   James now faces charges of aggravated assault and unlawful possession
   and transportation of an alligator.

   According to investigators, James found the one-meter-long reptile
   along the side of the road and put it in his truck.

   Then, he went to Wendy's, ordered a drink and then tossed the gator
   through the window, they said.

   The gator was later released into the wild.
