The tiger was almost shot by an off-duty police officer Sunday night.
A man who’s out on bond for a murder in Fort Bend County, Texas, grabbed his tiger and sped away from police after the big cat escaped from the man’s Houston home, police said Monday afternoon, in a bizarre twist to a situation that started Sunday night and almost led to the tiger getting shot. It’s not clear where Cuevas or the tiger are now and it’s not clear why he had a tiger in the first place and how it managed to get onto the streets. Cuevas’ attorney, Michael Elliott, told the Houston Chronicle his client is no longer on the run and said, «If they have a warrant for him, then we will of course surrender ourselves.
