Authorities in Northern California report they found an alligator in the home of a pot suspect.

Alameda County deputies say the five-foot gator was there to protect the stash.

Assif Mayr was busted following a probation check at his house.

Deputies charge he had 34 pounds of processed, dried pot.

He's being held on $160,000 bail.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports the alligator was taken to the Oakland Zoo, to be treated by a veterinarian.
