Prosecutors say a search of the Bayview Inn and Suites in Atlantic City resulted in multiple arrests.

Police say they uncovered drugs, weapons, and several animals, including a 3-foot-long alligator.

Jamal Campos of Egg Harbor Township was charged with drug-induced death and multiple drug offenses.

Six other people were also charged.

Authorities say it is not clear where the alligator came from, how it got in the motel's pool or how long it had been there.

The alligator was taken to the Cape May County Zoo.
