Man arrested after tiger shown in a yard of his Houston home

HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas man who had been free on bond from a murder charge has been arrested after neighbors found a pet tiger wandering around a Houston neighborhood. Houston police tweeted that 26-year-old Victor Hugo Cuevas was taken into custody Monday night, charged with felony evading arrest. Police had said they believed the tiger had belonged to Cuevas, but his attorney denied that the cat belonged to him or that it was in his care. Police said the tiger’s whereabouts are not known. Police say that Cuevas returned the tiger to his house, then drove it away as officers arrived.
