Michigan police find drugs, weapons and an alligator in raid

Michigan State Police experienced a scene straight out of the ’80s television show “Miami Vice” when they encountered an alligator in the home of a suspected drug dealer.

Just a short alligator walk southwest of Detroit is Ecorse, Michigan. This Wayne County community is probably known for its steel mills and automobile industry, with a history dating back to the Great Depression. It will probably be known for the drug bust that involved tons of guns and an alligator.

Yes, I said alligator. The large reptile was found in the house, which was searched in mid-November. Look at the size of this carnivore.

A plethora of drugs and weapons were discovered, according to MSP Second District

Investigators seized over 500 grams of methamphetamine, 10 grams of heroin, 6 grams of cocaine, 371 grams of various pills (including oxycodone, gabapentin and acetaminophen) and nine firearms. The suspect was arrested and the investigation by the public prosecutor’s office is still pending.

I wonder if the person who was arrested had a chance to introduce his alligator to the officers by saying, “Say hello, little friend.” The alligator’s name is supposedly “Longtooth.” Longtooth was immediately surrendered to a local animal shelter. Later Gator.
