He has since bonded out and has a court appearance set for Aug. 22. 上月被短吻鳄咬去一只手的湿地汽船船长本周五被捕。63岁的Wallace Weatherholt正面临着非法喂养短吻鳄的罪名指控。他已经被关押并将在8月22日的审判中出庭。 Weatherholt was leading an Indiana family on a tour of the Everglades on June 12 when he encountered a 9-foot alligator, which bit his hand off at the wrist. 6月12日，Weatherholt正带着一个印第安纳州家庭进行湿地旅行，突然遇到一只9英尺长的短吻鳄，他的手从手腕处被鳄鱼咬下。 After the attack, Florida Fish and Wildlife officers began an investigation into whether the captain had fed or provoked the alligator, leading to the attack. 这次攻击之后，佛罗里达州的渔业与野生动物部的官员对是否是因船长本人喂食而导致的攻击进行了调查。 In an interview shortly after the attack, FWC spokeswoman Carli Segelson said that there had been allegations of that happening. 攻击后不久的一次采访中，佛罗里达州渔业与野生动物部的发言人Carli Segelson说若此事确有发生，将会有多项指控。 The Associated Press reports that airboat passengers stated Weatherholt hung a fish over the side of the boat and had his hand at the water's surface when the alligator attacked. Feeding alligators is illegal. Those who feed an alligator face a second-degree misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $500 and possible jail time. |
