Spare a thought for Copper the iguana




The headline says it all on this story: “Man arrested after throwing iguana at restaurant manager.” This, um, unique incident went down Tuesday morning in the Ohio town of Painesville, northeast of Cleveland. A 49-year-old man allegedly pulled an iguana named Copper out from under his shirt, swung it around by the tail (apparently hammer-throw style), flinging it at a restaurant manager.




Unsurprisingly, the man was arrested and charged with animal cruelty, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest; Copper was taken to a local humane society to be checked out by a veterinarian.
