WHOA!!! Imagine sitting at home enjoying Mother’s Day and suddenly you notice a TIGER roaming around your neighborhood! That was the scenario in Houston when residents noticed a full grown TIGER prowling the streets and laying in the grass!
Like a scene out of “The Hangover,” neighbors were startled to see a tiger creeping around a Houston neighborhood Sunday evening.
A video sent to KHOU-11 shows a tiger with a collar crawling in a front yard.
“It’s someone’s pet,” someone in the video said.
In another video, an off-duty sheriff’s deputy was holding a gun while yelling at the person who was taking the tiger inside, KHOU-11 reported.
The Houston Police Department told USA TODAY they responded to a call about a vicious animal but when they arrived, the tiger was no longer there.
HPD said the animal was put in a white Jeep Cherokee vehicle and the suspect fled the scene at a high rate of speed. Officers were not able to locate the suspect, and no one has been charged or detained as of Monday morning.
