A lot of wild animals are banned as pets in the state of Michigan and on Tuesday Eastpoint police had to act on one of those banned animals…
According to the Eastpointe Police Department, if it’s a pet Tony Montana from the movie “Scarface” would have as a pet, it’ll likely be prohibited from the city of Eastpointe.
On Tuesday, the chief animal control officer stood with two alligators that were confiscated by the department and handed over to the Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary in Athens, Michigan.

Unfortunately, exotic animals are prohibited in Eastpointe so we couldn’t keep them as emotional support animals,” the post read.
The officers then thanked the sanctuary for taking the “often misunderstood creatures” off their hands.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
