Monico called the Sheriff's Office from the house of one of Havenner's neighbors shortly before 10 a.m. and said the two had been arguing when Havenner began to hit her with his fists. Then he got the alligator from the bathroom of the master bedroom and began swinging it at her as she tried to escape, Haught said.
Haught said he did not know whether Havenner was holding the reptile by the head or the tail during the attack.
After the gator hit Monico, she told a deputy, Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her and shoved her out of the mobile home.
Havenner told a much different account when police arrived to investigate. He initially denied having an alligator, but he let the deputy in to the home to check, Haught said. After the investigator found the reptile, Havenner said he did not hit Monico and that she bit him in the hand because she was mad that they were out of alcohol, Haught said.

But if it wasn't on your post, but is was on mine, and you didn't see it till your post, and I don't know what you're talking about, does that mean we're both nuts? |

The bathroom---of the master bedroom---of the trailer.
You have to visualize that in little baby steps. Even without the alligator.

LOL ping the Mod and have it changed.
I wonder how long before the peta crowd gets in on this?
Norm- just think what kinda fun we could have at Daytona with this. Pete brings a flatbed with a tank of water and we setup in the infield, pass out beers and sit back and watch the gator fights.

If you use a three foot alligator to resolve domestic disputes.
You could be a redneck....

To: ChefKeith
You think I should bother the Mod just for that? I don't want the Mod cranky with me. :-)
I wonder how long before the peta crowd gets in on this?
I was dumbfounded when the local new reports and even this story had no mention of PETA. They must be out protesting this weekend and haven't had a chance to become outraged yet. Havenner better gather up those empties and cash them in to pay for the lawyer he'll need when Peta finds out about this outrage.

After the gator hit Monico, she told a deputy, Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her When I saw that the story involved people throwing beer bottles at each other, I knew it had to involve Florida somehow.
Gators are a dime a dozen. But beer costs money.
To: JRandomFreeper
You have to wonder... Did they take to 'gator for walks after everyone else was asleep? Did the 'gator get bored in the tub? Who cleaned up after the 'gator? What was the 'gator's name? So many questions, so few answers...All valid questions. Any word from PETA yet?
