Adding Insult to Injury: Florida Man Who Lost Hand To Alligator Now Charged With Feeding It.
A Florida airboat captain who had his hand bitten off while trying to feed a gator has now been arrested, charged, and booked, for feeding the Alligator.
A Florida airboat captain who lost his hand to a 9-foot alligator last month now faces charges of unlawful feeding of a gator.
Wallace Weatherholt, 63, was arrested and charged with the misdemeanor Friday, the Fort Myers News-Press reported. The Everglades City airboat captain posted a $1,000 bond and is set to appear in court Aug. 22.
According to the News-Press, Weatherholt was leading a family on a tour of the Everglades on June 12 when the alligator bit his hand off at the wrist.
The family on the tour said Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of the boat, The Associated Press reported, and had his hand just above the water when the alligator attacked.
Sigh…I know I should not find this funny…but…Bwahahahaha!
