"David Havenner of Port Orange stands accused of beating his girlfriend with a fout-foot alligator. Havenner, 41, was held without bond last Saturday on misdemeanor charges of battery and possesion of an alligator. Nacy Monico, 39, told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the alligator by the tail and swung it at her as she tried to escape. She said she was struck at least once by the beast. The alligator, which Havenner had been keeping in his bathtub, was turned over to Florida wildlife officials."
This was in one of the local publications. It's too bad that morons like this ruin it for the responsible.
