Sheriff's deputies arrested three people after finding two frozen alligators, an illegal fish and hundreds of grams of methamphetamine inside a Lake Wales home.



The Polk County Sheriff's Office says they found numerous methamphetamine smoking devices and bags of the drug within the reach of twin 10-month-old babies.



The twins' parents, Shane William Park, 29, and Cortney Loraine Williams, 24, face multiple charges, including negligent child abuse. Joshua Mellon, who was at the house, was arrested.



Deputies found a living black bass, which was under size by state standards. Two alligators were in the freezer. The woman told them she was planning to stuff the gators.

The Department of Children and Families took custody of the twins. Neighbors said they’re still scratching their heads about the discovery.

“I don’t know what to think," said neighbor, Douglas Farquhar. "I had no idea they had the alligators. I mean, to be totally honest, if they did, I would have totally helped eat them!”

Farquhar found it hard to contain his laughter about the frozen gators but authorities said this is no laughing matter.

Most of the neighbors said they aren’t surprised the trio was arrested for having methamphetamine in their home. Or the fact that deputies said they found two gators in their freezer.

Farquhar said he doesn’t believe his neighbors Courtney Williams and Shane Park would put their children in harm's way.

“To say he treats them babies excellent. They’re never lacking anything, they don’t leave them alone. They’re always well watched and well taken care of,” Farquhar said.

As for the gators, deputies said the suspects did not have a permit and arrest reports say the suspects were planning to stuff them.

The reptiles along with the bass fish are in the hands of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Arrest reports show several rounds of ammunition were found inside of the home. Park and Williams are being held at the Polk County Jail with no bond. Mellon was released on bail.
