"Watchgator" seized protecting pot plants
By John Asbury - The Press-Enterprise Department of Justice agents raided an East Hemet house Monday night and seized almost 2,300 marijuana plants valued at least $1.5 million -- and a four-foot alligator being used to help guard the stash.
Agents with Arcnet, the Allied Riverside Cities Narcotics Enforcement Team, raided the house and found what they described as a "watchgator" named Wally in a back room, where it was living in a black cement-mixing tub full of water.
One man was arrested, and the gator was taken to a sanctuary in San Bernardino County's High Desert.
