Owner of tiger seen prowling Texas neighborhood arrested, but big cat is still loose, police say<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The owner of a tiger that was spotted taking a Mother’s Day prowl through a Texas neighborhood was arrested Monday, but his big cat remains on the loose, police said.<\/p>\n

Hugo Cuevas was charged with evading arrest after police said he put the tiger in an SUV and drove off when cops arrived at the west Houston community to investigate reports that the jungle cat had hopped a fence and was stalking the streets.<\/p>\n

Police said Cuevas, 26, who was out on bond following a 2017 murder charge, was being held at a jail in Richmond, Texas. His attorneys told TODAY he’s not the owner of the tiger.<\/p>\n

Police also said they still don’t know where the tiger is.<\/p>\n

The wild scene has caused an uproar among animal rights activists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But wait, it gets weirder…<\/p>\n

Houston’s Weird Tiger Story Gets Even Weirder<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

(NEWSER)\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 “The whereabouts of the tiger are not yet known.” It’s not your typical line in a big-city police department\u00a0update, but it applies in Houston. The strange tiger tale began Sunday night, when residents of a city neighborhood\u00a0spotted a loose tiger\u00a0and called police. When officers arrived, a man fled with the animal in an SUV and eluded capture. On Monday night, police said they had arrested 26-year-old Victor Hugo Cuevas, who it turns out is out on bond on a murder charge, reports\u00a0CNN. They caught him in a home in Fort Bend County, but they still don’t know where the tiger is. Cuevas has been charged with evading police in the tiger incident, and he could have his bond revoked in the murder case.<\/p>\n

“The last we know of, the tiger was very safe and unharmed,” says his attorney, Michael Elliott, per the Houston Chronicle<\/em>. He provided no more details but said his client planned to lead police to the animal. It wasn’t clear whether Cuevas owned the tiger\u2014his attorney doesn’t think so\u2014but police suggested he had been taking care of it, along with two monkeys, in a residential home. Keeping a small monkey is legal in Houston, but keeping a tiger requires a license for exotic animals, per the\u00a0AP. Violation of that is a misdemeanor offense. The murder charge, meanwhile, dates back to 2017. Authorities say Cuevas shot a man to death outside a restaurant, and attorney Elliott maintains it was a case of self-defense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
