Polk Deputy Searching Truck Finds Dead Alligator in a Tool Box 
A Polk County (Florida) deputy found marijuana in two men's truck Tuesday and something strange stashed in a tool box: a dead 4-foot alligator, arrest reports say. Jessie Stoner, 20, and Christopher Walling, 22, both of Winter Haven, were pulled over about 1:20 a.m. on First Court East in Wahneta because they had a broken tail light, arrest reports say. They gave the deputy permission to search the truck and he found a cigar wrapper stuffed with marijuana on the console. "I haven't smoked in a while" said Stoner. The deputy arrested them and then continued his search, discovering the alligator's body. Stoner and Walling were charged with misdemeanor counts of drug possession and taking an alligator without a permit.
