Richard Waite, 26, accused of drowning lizards

NEW HAMPSHIRE -- A 26-year-old Nashua man is accused of drowning his ex-girlfriend’s two pet lizards.
 
The Telegraph of Nashua reported Richard Waite was arrested Sunday after officers were called for a domestic disturbance. He’s currently on probation from an assault case.


Police said Waite drowned two lizards known as bearded dragons and released a parakeet from his ex-girlfriend’s apartment.
 
Authorities said Waite is charged with animal cruelty, resisting arrest and related offenses.
 
Police allege that he smashed a TV screen, shattered a 40-pound fish tank and ripped a bathroom door off its hinges.
 
Waite told a judge during his arraignment Monday that he suffers from a severe medical condition.
He did not have a lawyer.
