A man has been arrested in the US for throwing a live, 3-foot long alligator through the window of a Wendy's drive-though. 

Yes, you read that sentence correctly. 

The 24-year-old Florida man reportedly threw the animal from the back of his truck through the window after picking up his order at the drive-thru of the popular US fast food outlet at Royal Palm Beach in Florida. 

Incident reports from the scene, which allegedly took place last October, show pictures of the predator in the restaurant after the bizarre event occurred. 

Joshua James was arrested yesterday on charges of tossing the 3-and-a-half foot creature into the Wendy's kitchen. 

CCTV footage from inside the restaurant shows the creature moving freely throughout the restaurant. 

Joshua is reported to have picked the creature up on the side of the road, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Joshua reportedly yelled: "See ya later, alligator" as he drove off… 

(Okay we made that last bit up, but it was just too good to not use.)
