Man Accused of Hitting Woman With Gator
By Associated Press

PORT ORANGE, Fla. -- A man hit his girlfriend with a 3-foot alligator and threw beer bottles at her during an argument in the couple's mobile home, authorities said.

David Havenner, 41, was scheduled for a bond hearing Saturday on misdemeanor charges of battery and possession of an alligator.

The alligator, which Havenner had been keeping in his bathtub, was turned over to Florida wildlife officials.

Nancy Monico, 39, told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the alligator and swung it at her as she tried to escape, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. She said the animal hit her at least once. She also told authorities that Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her, Davidson said.

Havenner's version of the story differed. He told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol.

Why is it that he is not also charged with animal cruelty? I would think that it is just as much a crime against the gator as it is against the girlfriend.

Secondly, why is it that the girlfriend was not also charged? If she did in fact bite the man, she is also guilty of domestic violence. All too often the man is arrested and deemed to be the criminal and the woman allowed to go scot free even though she also committed (and sometimes started) violence against the man.

Just wondering.

Think good thoughts,

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

but not always: lawyer friend of mine attacked her accountant boyfriend wielding an electric toothbrush and touched his cheek with it...he called the cops and she got three days in the slammer and a year of anger management classes....

Thanks, E.J. (I think) Sad) I have this image of rather dirty people (cause you can't really bathe with a gator in there with you) biting each other cause they ran out of beer in the trailer and then to top it all off, he whacks her with the gator.....

Right now, with all the rain, the gators are back out in the swamps and not in our ponds. If you've ever heard a bull gator romancin' his girl, you'd know why their absence makes us all very happy. Plus, my cocker spaniel jumps in the back pond alot.
