:wtf: Ok, perhaps it's spring fever but I can't seem to read the news anymore without finding these absolutely ridiculous snippets - all of them reflections on our esteemed Hoosier legislature (past and present). It's starting to feel like we're
living 'The Onion'.
In custody: suspect, big dog, tiny dog, alligator Narcotics detectives discover all 4 when serving a warrant By Diana Penner
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060311/NEWS01/603110463/1006Alligators aren't likely to replace large-jowled dogs as the preferred protection critter, but Indianapolis detectives this week encountered one of those reptiles while serving a search warrant at a Northside residence.
They also came upon a brindle mastiff -- a dog that weighs 150 to 175 pounds -- and his buddy, a Shih Tzu, a breed that runs about 15 pounds.
Narcotics detectives from the Indianapolis Police Department's North District served a search warrant on Fennell's residence in the 3500 block of North Illinois Street late Tuesday. According to a police report, they found suspected marijuana, five firearms, ammunition, money and the three creatures.
Fennell, whose next court date is Monday, or a representative can reclaim the animals within 15 days of when they were seized -- after fees and fines have been settled.
It's legal in Indiana to have an unregistered alligator, :rofl: if it is less than 4 feet long, but Fennell will have to pay to have both dogs micro-chipped and prove they have required vaccinations.
