Florida classic: Frozen gators, meth, ammo and twin tots found in Polk home

Only in Florida would deputies search a home and find two frozen alligators, meth in a box of baby wipes, a live bass in an aquarium, ammo and homemade drug pipes — all within reach of twin infants.

That, according to deputies, was the bizarre find this week in a Polk County house

Deputies with a search warrant found those oddities and more in a Lake Wales home where a couple lived with their 10-month-old twins on Tuesday.

The couple — Shane Park, 29, and Cortney Williams, 24, were arrested along with a visitor, Joshua Lee Mellon, 31.

2. Frozen gators ?

Were they going to skin them for the leather and eat them later on ?

*shakes my head*

3. Have you ever eaten gator? It's not bad.

6. Indeed I have.

At a place just off Jackson Square in NOLA's French Quarter.

The next day Mom and I went uptown to the Audubon Zoo. She swears to this day that the gators there were giving me the stink eye!

7. I have

It's a bit chewy but not bad. That was my guess about the frozen aspect.

8. Nope. Stuff them and put them on display.

Evidently they were a "gift" from a relative.

4. Is it illegal to have a live bass in an aquarium?

[badtoworse]

11. I don't think so. They're pretty common fish

12. Too small.

"The Fish and Wildlife Commission responded to the scene, measured the bass and advised it was under 13 inches long, and therefore undersized," the affidavit said. "FWC took possession of the bass."

5. Just like in a Carl Hiassen novel.

I feel sorry for the 'gators:

And the kids, of course.
