Store Owner Abuses Bearded Dragon, Hits Employees With It [VIDEO]

Surprise, surprise, another crazy person from Florida.

Benjamin Siegel owns a pet and reptile store in Deerfield Beach, Florida and was recently thrown in jail for animal cruelty and counts of battery after an incident involving a bearded dragon.

Ben allegedly became angry with his employees and put the lizard in his mouth, threw it up in the air, swung it around and then slapped his employees with it. You can see just how randy Mr. Siegel is in this video showing him getting lippy in court. Video bonus around 1:30 when two boys run into the shot and fluster the newscaster.

This isn't the first time the cops have been called to this particular establishment. They have been in trouble before for holding a cock roach eating contest.

Fun Fact: the average length of a bearded dragon is 4 inches.
