Sick gator found guarding Castro Valley pot stash

Burglar alarms and pit bulls to protect your pot stash? Sure. But an alligator?

 

 

Mr. Teeth

 

That’s what Alameda County sheriff’s deputies encountered about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday when they conducted a “probation compliance” check of a home in Castro Valley.

 

While at a home on the 19000 block of Mount Jasper Drive, they found 34 pounds of processed dried marijuana and a live — but ill — 5-foot alligator in a Plexiglas tank in the bedroom. The reptile, named “Mr. Teeth,” acted as a deterrent against marijuana thieves, said sheriff’s Sgt. J.D. Nelson.

 

Mr. Teeth’s owner, Assif Mayr, 32, got the alligator in 1996 “to commemorate the death of rapper Tupac Shakur,” Nelson said.

 

“We come across guard dogs like pit bulls quite frequently, but a guard alligator is very very unusual,” Nelson said.

 

Mayar was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale and was taken to Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, where he is being held in lieu of $160,000 bail.

 

Mr. Teeth was taken to the Oakland Zoo. Zoo spokeswoman Nicky Mora said the gator is “very sick” and is being treated at the zoo’s veterinary hospital. Per protocol, the alligator is put into quarantine for 30 days after arriving at the zoo.

 

“So we will probably treat him and keep him in a quarantine area and then figure out from there where he will be located,” Mora said.

SCAVENGING canines have been left bleary-eyed after inadvertently feasting on cannabis while on walkies in northwest England.

 

Patch was one of several dogs "poisoned" after tucking in to a package left on a walking track in greater Manchester, British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.

 

"Patch was just totally out of it," said owner Neil Rogers of his four-legged friend.

 

"When I got home he just collapsed and couldn't do anything. I realised he had eaten something."

 

Mr Rogers returned to the track and collected the package, the contents of which police later identified as cannabis.

 

Veterinary surgeon Lorna Cook, who treated two of the intoxicated dogs, said: "I haven't seen anything like this before.

 

"We had two dogs with similar signs in quick succession so we knew there was something suspicious. Both dogs collapsed and had dilated pupils."

 

All the stoned pooches have reportedly made a full recovery.
