Gator exploited for Nefarious Activity


A man in East Hemet California (about 90 miles east of downtown Los Angeles) was using a Florida alligator to guard his marijuana supply. The man was dispensing the marijuana in an unlicensed medical treatment.

The gator weighed only 55 pounds but, heh, he was a gator and who is going to risk that (image is from the news article).

After the arrest (of the man), the gator was relocated to an undisclosed location in San Bernadino County. Personal possession of alligators in California is illegal but authorities acknowledge that a number of homes have them because of, well, the panache.
