LOS ANGELES — A man accused of stealing three endangered iguanas from a nature preserve in Fiji and smuggling them into the United States in his prosthetic leg has been indicted.
Jereme James, 33, of Long Beach, faces a single count of smuggling, according to a federal indictment returned Friday in Los Angeles. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Hi, Ms. Heels!
Sionnsar is the keeper of the ZOT! list of potential Undead Threads. I have no idea what his criteria are, but as soon as he pokes his nose into FR, he’ll get this and can let us all know.
Thanks for the ping!
Looks like the guy has a leg up on the competition!
Definitely a candidate!
Thanks, sion! I’m glad you’re back!
Thanks! Only briefly, though. Got to get ready for church shortly, and have work to do this afternoon — as well as packing for my next trip tomorrow.
