Ohio man weaponizes pet iguana inside a Perkins restaurant
Be forewarned: While this is a story about some wild shit going down before noon at a Perkins, this is foremost a tragic one, albeit with a relatively happy ending, about an Ohio iguana named Copper. At least that’s his given name, according to the Painesville, OH police department, which used its Facebook page to tell the story of the iguana’s terrifying Tuesday morning, in which his now-detained former owner decided to brandish him as a weapon inside one of the venerable family dining’s 354 locations in the United States. We would like to think that it is the only one where something like this has ever happened. And yes, it was just as bad as it sounds: A 49 year old male had removed an iguana from his shirt and swung it around his head by its tail and then threw the iguana at the store manager. The officers later located the male in the 900 block of Mentor Avenue where he resisted arrest. The iguana, who did not ask for any of this at any point, was mercifully taken away from the man, who was charged with animal cruelty alongside disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. As of this publication, the local Humane Society is tending to the iguana, and several commenters on the initial post have already offered to give him a home. Happy trails, Copper. Meanwhile, everybody working at the Painesville Perkins that day went on to work for about 8-10 more hours, because working in a restaurant is one of the most character-building jobs anybody can do, anywhere. We’ll come back on Mondays for the free pie. https://thetakeout.com/ohio-man-weap...ran-1834111576 |
