Alligators found guarding marijuana grow

Sheriff’s deputies responding to a shooting Monday night near Olympia discovered a marijuana grow operation that was being protected by two alligators. The shooting happened in the Scott Lake area.

The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said it started as a dispute between the 41-year-old suspect and a 30-year-old acquaintance, possibly related to a failed drug deal.

The 30-year-old was shot twice. He was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital for minor gunshot wounds and released Tuesday morning.
