A 23-year-old Jupiter, Fla. man is now sitting in jail after a “prank” gone terribly wrong. Joshua James threw an alligator through a Wendy’s drive-thru window and he has collected several serious charges against him for it.
James has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, illegally killing, possessing or capturing an alligator, and second-degree larceny petit theft. He picked the alligator up on the side of the road ahead of the prank.
Palm Beach Post reports the incident happened in October, but he got arrested this week. The alligator was released back in a canal.
A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission incident report states James threw the gator into the window after the server handed him his drink and turned around to get the rest of his order.
