‘Crocodile Hunter’ Won’t Face Charges
From Times Wire Reports
“Crocodile Hunter” host Steve Irwin will not be charged with any offense for holding his 1-month-old son while feeding a 13-foot crocodile in front of a crowd, Australian authorities said.
After interviewing Irwin, the Office of Workplace Health and Safety said there was not enough evidence to suggest that Irwin and his Australia Zoo reptile park had violated any safety regulations.
There was no evidence Irwin did not have control of the child, said Gordon Nuttall, Queensland state’s industrial relations minister.
