The notorious former leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel known as “El Chapo” was arrested earlier this year after a dramatic shootout with Mexican police in his home. More recently, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, police made another house drug bust and were confronted by an unlikely adversary: a guard alligator fittingly named “El Chompo.”

Three alleged drug dealers were apprehended in the Coatesville home and are facing drug trafficking charges. According to Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan, police raided the home on February 8th and found heroin, crack cocaine, marijuana, and what is suspected to be fentanyl.
