Alligator found in California home guarding $100,000 marijuana stash, authorities say

(CBS/AP) CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. - California police who entered a man's house Wednesday afternoon for a probation check said they found a $100,000 stash of marijuana guarded by a five-foot-long alligator.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Alameda County deputies entered the home of 32-year-old[..]if Mayr where they found 34 pounds of marijuana and the five-foot alligator in a tank in the bedroom.

Sheriff's Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Mayr got the alligator, named "Mr. Teeth," in 1996 "to commemorate the [rip] of rapper Tupac Shakur." Nelson added that the alligator was likely used as a deterrent against marijuana thieves.

Mayr was arrested and booked into jail on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He is held in lieu of $160,000 bail.

The alligator was taken to the Oakland Zoo. Officials there described it as very sick and said it was being cared for at the zoo's veterinary hospital.
