Man Smuggled Iguanas In Fake Leg

Los Angeles, CA (AHN) -- A man who smuggled iguanas into the country in a prosthetic leg has been indicted. Police say Jereme James, 33, stole the iguanas from a nature preserve in Fiji.

James is facing a single count of smuggling. It comes with a maximum penalty of five years in prison. He had constructed a special compartment in his artificial leg to hold the iguanas.

James was caught when someone reported to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that he had several of the neon green iguanas, which are protected under an international treaty. James told investigators he had sold three of the iguanas. Authorities suspect he may have been breeding them for sale.

The iguanas will eventually go to a U.S. breeding program.
