Police officers see plenty of strange activity while on the job, but nothing quite like what a group of officers in Texas had to deal with recently. The Rusk County police were greeted by an unexpected animal during a recent drug bust. They found an alligator-like creature living inside the home, and seized it along with the drugs.
Sheriff’s deputies and the Texas Game Wardens recently searched a home in Kilgore, Texas after receiving a tip about a drug operation and illegal possession of an alligator. However, when the group entered the home, it wasn’t an alligator inside, but instead a 3 foot long Caiman. The alligator-like creature is normally found in Mexico, as well as South and Central America.
According to Dallas Morning News, police also seized an assortment of drugs from the home. As for the Caiman, it was removed and relocated to a wildlife rescue in Dallas. Hopefully the owner goes with a more traditional pet next time.
