He then threw the lizard at the manager, narrowly missing him and sending the reptile sliding across the floor.
Police were called and, after watching restaurant video footage of the incident, later caught up with Teeter nearby.
He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and cruelty to animals, while the iguana was taken in by Lake County Humane Society.
The iguana was found to have a leg bone fracture which will need surgery to repair.
