HEMET, Calif. — California narcotics investigators found a $1.5 million marijuana growing operation at a house and an unusual security guard — a 4-foot-long alligator named Wally.
The Riverside County drug task force team moved in on the Hemet area house on Monday night and seized nearly 2,300 pot plants. The commander says agents also found the reptile, described as a “watchgator.”
The healthy 55-pound American alligator was turned over to the Phelan-based Forever Wild Exotic Animal Sanctuary, since gators are illegal in California.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports 29-year-old John Nathan Donna, who lives in the home, was arrested and booked for investigation of marijuana cultivation and possession. He was released Tuesday on $100,000 bail.
Actually, yeah, they do lol. It’s part of the reason the average height of people has been increasing. Optimum nutrition helps people reach their optimum size, as dictated by their genetics. If they’re malnourished, their genetics may have them set at 6 feet tall at full potential, when in reality they’re only 5’8. This is only a real-world practical example though. There are far more extreme cases.
