Man throws alligator at girlfriend
12:03 AEST Sun Jul 18 2004

AP - A man hit his girlfriend with a one-metre alligator and threw beer bottles at her during an argument in the couple's mobile home in Florida, US authorities said.

David Havenner, 41, was ordered held without bond on misdemeanour charges of battery and possession of an alligator.

The alligator, which Havenner had been keeping in his bathtub, was turned over to Florida wildlife officials.

Nancy Monico, 39, told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the alligator and swung it at her as she tried to escape, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.

She said the animal hit her at least once.

She also told authorities that Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her, Davidson said.

Havenner's version of the story differed. He told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol.

Is Monico the girlfriend or the alligator? :confused:

I could not help but chuckle at the hapless alligator being used to hit the someone. However I cannot abide abuses.

Tsk tsk.

I live about 200 miles from where this took place, so I heard about this last evening on our local news. It is true. The guy actually sicced his pet alligator on his girlfriend. In case you all are curious, the alligator is going to be relocated, so it won't be killed. Oddly enough, if the alligator had been bigger than 5 ft long, Fish and Wildlife would have destroyed the animal.

Kinda makes you wonder, huh? :dunno:

Well, Liza, to be perfectly honest, I'm not too keen on a lot of things going on here in the state that I adopted as my home.

But, I'm also NOT quite ready to go back to where I came from, either. Almost, but not quite! LOL
