Alligators are frightening as is, until you have a Tennessee Police department warning you about meth-gators. Recently, investigators arrested a man who allegedly tried to flush meth and a dozen other drugs down his toilet. Loretto Police are warning residents about the dangers of flushing away drugs that could jokingly lead to “meth-gators” in Alabama.
Following the arrest of the suspected drug dealer, investigators found the man unsuccessfully attempting to flush a dozen grams of methamphetamine and a handful of other paraphernalia down his toilet. This is not the first time we’ve seen someone dispose or carry a copious amount of drugs.
Trying to make light of the situation, Loretto Police released a Facebook statement that contains further details of the arrest. It also cites that discarding drugs in this manner could poison marine life in Shoal Creek and the Tennessee River. Read the post here.
“Folks, please don’t flush your drugs m’kay”

“Now our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what it is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth.”

“Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do… So, if you need to dispose of your drugs just give us a call and we will make sure they are disposed of in the proper way. “
