If you flush drugs down the toilet, you could be creating 'meth gators,' cops say
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A Tennessee police department is warning residents to stop flushing drugs down their toilet and sinks out of fear they could create "meth gators."
"Now our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth," according to a Loretto Police Department social media post. "Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do."
The suspect was arrested, but police say this is becoming a bigger issue for the city because drugs in the sewer system end up in retention ponds for processing before they are sent downstream.
Police warn that if the drugs make it far enough, they will end up being consumed by gators in Shoal Creek.
"They've had enough methed up animals the past few weeks without our help," police wrote.
Loretto Police urge residents to bring in any drugs, including prescription medication, into their offices for proper disposal instead of flushing.

Well there's two words I would never have imagined I'd see together. But there ya go apparently it's now it's a thing lol
Reminds me of the guy with the trained meth attack squirrel.
LMAO I remember reading about (about a month ago), what a loser.
I smell a movie franchise coming. Meth Gators! .... Meth Gators Do Miami! .... Meth Gators in Space! .........
Meth Gatorsnado
Right? Wonder if there are any YouTube videos. I doubt that the type of person that would be flushing meth is terribly concerned about the environment.
I'm looking at it this way... If it puts a smile on the gators face...not a bad thing entirely.
I don't know.... The idea of a tweaked out gator smiling at me seems like it could be a bad thing to me.
Lol I know seeing a smiling gator brightens my day

Yeah, between the reports on Barry warning of the critters and now this, I'm kinda wanting to go see that.
Ha. Truth be told I've seen some surprisingly good reviews for "Crawl".
Why Crawl is a better reptile monster movie than Godzilla: King of the Monsters
I'll wait till it comes around to the movie channels, or on some streaming site, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it as a little mindless fun.
Agreed it might be good but I think I'll wait for it to come out on tv
I'm sure all the environmentalist tweekers are grateful for the heads up.
Lol and there's another two words I never thought I'd see together
