DETROIT, MI – Michigan State Police expected a typical search when they executed a warrant Tuesday in the Downriver area of Detroit, Michigan. What they didn’t expect, however, was an unusual resident—a live alligator sharing the home with an arsenal of drugs and firearms.
Substantial Seizure of Drugs and Firearms
Officers from the Metro Narcotics Enforcement Team uncovered a large supply of narcotics and guns inside the residence. Detectives reported seizing over 500 grams of methamphetamine, 10 grams of heroin, six grams of cocaine, and 371 grams of various pills, including oxycodone, gabapentin, and acetaminophen.
In addition to the drugs, officers found nine firearms, underscoring the gravity of the charges awaiting the suspect.
Arrest and Pending Charges
Following the raid, a suspect was taken into custody. While the individual’s name has not been disclosed, police confirmed that criminal charges are pending, awaiting a review by local prosecutors.
The Metro Narcotics Enforcement Team’s work reflects Michigan State Police’s ongoing commitment to tackling drug-related crime in Detroit’s metro areas.
The Surprising Addition: An Alligator Inside the Home
In an unexpected find, officers also encountered a live alligator inside the property. Michigan State Police later posted on X (formerly Twitter), noting, “On a side note, an alligator was also located in the home.”
They confirmed the alligator was turned over to a local animal shelter, where it could be safely rehomed.
Michigan State Police plan to provide updates as the investigation progresses. The discovery of the alligator amid the drug and weapons seizure adds an unusual element to an otherwise serious case.
