A Pennsylvania drug bust netted three suspects, over $5,000 in cash, crack-cocaine, heroin, a substance believed to be fentanyl — and a four-legged critter.
“Drug dealers will do just about anything to project an image of danger in order to protect their drugs and cash,” said Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan. “Some drug dealers use pit bulls or snakes. These drug traffickers kept an alligator in the house. But at the end of the day, the police seized their drugs and money, and the alligator is headed to the zoo.”

There is slso a russian drug called “krokodil” which is famous for causing gangrene at the injection site. I thought that was the reference here. Nope, just an amphibian.

The wide snout says it’s a gator. Wonder why he was keeping three azzholes. Musta been a food and water thing.
I think this story is just a “croc”. Can’t even say “Look at them snappers” (”Romancing the Stone”). /sarc
Don’t think it is a Cayman. Snout is too short (so is life for that matter).
Are those Gang Tattoos? Could be interesting.
One way to get them to talk is to not feed the gator for a couple of days, then hold him just under the crotch of each suspect (in separate rooms) and ask them some questions. Wrong answer, no balls. So easy and the gator gets a free dinner.
At first I thought they meant that drug ravaging russsia made from cooked up codeine that basically turns you into Nancy Pelosi.
lol
Yes, looks like gang tats.
The Purist - Poem by Ogden Nash
I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, “He never bungles!”
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
“You mean,” he said, “a crocodile.”

We in Pennsylvania refuse to accept this area as a part of our state anymore. Literally everyone there is from new jersey.
Wherever that state touches, it turns into Haiti real quick.
That’s a young juvenile gator. Not that intimidating.
As a result lowlifes passing through with their cargo of Florida "products", mostly drugs, are a common occurrence.
A couple of years ago, a gator somewhat larger than this was discovered swimming around in a local reservoir. They tried coaxing it out or capturing it until mid September when the authorities gave up and decided Mother Nature would take care of the problem.
She did.
the distance between an alligator’s eyes and snout in inches is the total length in feet
Put the crock in the Rio Grande.
How times have changed. Back in the 60’s, I hunted in that area. Had a favorite farm in Thorndale that was loaded with pheasants. It’s now all houses.
Reptile!
