John Halliday and Tom Colbert, two agents with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, handled an unusual moving violation while serving warrants. Spotting a car moving erratically along a Florida highway, they noticed a green and orange iguana at the car's steering wheel. After calling for police backup, the agents followed the car until it pulled to the side of the road. The owner of the car, found slouched down in the driver's seat, was immediately arrested on a drunken driving charge. Florida Department of Law Enforcement supervisor Larry Sams reported that the iguana, named Finley, appeared to be a pretty good driver. The animal was taken to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
