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.

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!
