RYE, N.H. (AP) -- Police in New Hampshire had their hands full after a pet iguana got loose and bit a cyclist.
Officers responded after a cyclist tried lassoing the roaming reptile with a leash Monday morning in Rye. Police safely caught the iguana and headed to the police station with him.
The 10-year-old iguana, whose name is Mr. Jingles, was reunited with his owner after Rye police posted on social media. Brenda Schultz tells WMUR-TV she's grateful someone saw her pet after he slipped out of a hole in a window screen.
The cyclist who tried corralling Mr. Jingles wasn't seriously hurt.
Police say no charges will be filed against Schultz, or Mr. Jingles, for that matter.
