Take a deep breath, folks. Feel that? That's relief. The nightmare is over. This one iguana is finally in jail.

Florida’s Stuart Police Department has, at long last, captured this one iguana that they've been looking for.

According to their social media channels, Stuart Police have been on an "Iguanahunt" for the big iguana for "a few days," following several sightings. On Oct. 16, the bastard was spotted at an outdoor restaurant and finally taken down for whatever he did.

We do not know what the iguana did that would warrant it time in a human jail, but we are sure it was bad. Thank you, Stuart Police, for apprehending this big lizard.
