Is That An Iguana In Your Pants?
A guy with a hollow leg he uses to smuggle iguanas sounds like a character from the next Pirates of the Caribbean flick, but Associated Press assures us this story is true.
On Thursday a jury acquitted a man of smuggling endangered iguanas in his hollowed-out prosthetic leg but convicted him of concealing and possessing the endangered species.
Jereme James was accused of stealing Fiji Island banded iguanas while visiting the South Pacific in September 2002. During an undercover probe he told investigators he sold three iguanas for $32,000. Police seized four when they served a search warrant at his house in April.
James faces a maximum possible sentence of 20 years in prison when sentenced July 14. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when somebody in lockdown asks this guy: “So, what are ya in for?”
