The fact that the tiger belonged to man suspected of murdering someone adds a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/f-you-and-your-f-ing-tiger-houston-neighborhood-panics-after-seeing-tiger-roaming-streets\">reported<\/a> police were called to a Houston neighborhood for reports of a tiger walking around in someone\u2019s front yard. An off-duty sheriff\u2019s deputy pointed a gun at the tiger in an attempt to protect residents until police arrived. Eventually a man exited the home and placed the tiger in a vehicle and fled the scene when police arrived.<\/p>\n<p>The man who took the tiger, 26-year-old Victor Hugo Cuevas, was out on bond for a murder charge when the large cat was spotted in his yard, CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/amp.cnn.com\/cnn\/2021\/05\/10\/us\/houston-tiger-murder-suspect-trnd\/index.html\">reported<\/a>. Cuevas fled with the tiger in a vehicle when police arrived. Houston Police Commander Ron Borza said during a news conference on Monday that a \u201cbrief pursuit\u201d followed, but \u201cthe man got away with the tiger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the murder charge, Cuevas now has been charged with felony evading arrest, CNN reported, adding that authorities said they would try to revoke his bond over the incident. It is unclear how authorities apprehended Cuevas. The tiger has not been found.<\/p>\n<p>Borza told the outlet that owning a tiger in Houston is illegal, a Class C misdemeanor. KHOU 11 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khou.com\/article\/news\/local\/houston-tiger\/285-77f8a185-c10c-4af6-8b94-1e1b637bf9d3\">reported<\/a> on Monday that \u201cwhile tigers are not allowed in the City of Houston, they are legal in the surrounding unincorporated Harris County if their owners register the animals and follow a strict set of rules, including holding $100,000 in animal insurance and keeping the tiger secured at least 1000 feet from another home, school, or child care facility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ordeal began Sunday night around 8 p.m., when police received a call from someone saying they could see a tiger in the front yard of a home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about a tiger. I\u2019m on the phone with the caller, who is a sheriff\u2019s department sergeant, and he\u2019s holding the owner, and the owner is trying to leave,\u201d Houston police dispatchers told police, according to audio obtained by KHOU 11.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet noted that an off-duty sheriff\u2019s deputy pointed a gun at the tiger \u2014 but no people \u2014 in order to keep neighbors safe. Witnesses told KHOU-11 that the tiger was eventually put in a vehicle and taken away before police arrived.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors shot several videos of the incident and uploaded them to social media. In one video, the off-duty officer can be heard yelling at the tiger\u2019s owner: \u201cGet the f\u2013k back inside. F\u2013k you and your f\u2013king tiger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The man who claimed to own the tiger replied: \u201cI\u2019ll get him, I\u2019ll get him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In another video, the New York Post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/10\/tiger-roaming-houston-street-leads-to-tense-confrontation\/\">reported<\/a>, a woman films the incident while sheltered in her home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a freaking Bengal tiger roaming in this yard and this dude needs to be careful,\u201d the woman said. \u201cWhat the heck? Why is there a tiger?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
