Police warn of meth-gators

- 2019 is shaping up to be an odd year; and we’re not talking about the weather. We’ve had reports of zombie cicadas, ‘clone ticks,’ and now warnings of gators hopped up on meth.
- It’s actually a two-fold warning. Loretto, Tennessee, police are asking drug users not to flush their stash down the toilet out of fear it could create “meth-gators.”
- The public notice was issued after officers caught a suspect trying to flush the evidence.
- Authorities say the local sewer treatment operators are good at what they do – releasing cleaner water than what’s already in local creeks – but they aren’t prepared for meth.
