A pet tiger freely roaming around an open street frightened the residents of 1103 Ivy Wall Drive about 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 9. The scene was caught on camera, showing a Bengal tiger on gunpoint by an off-duty Sherriff's deputy who happens to live in the neighborhood. According to a resident, the armed guy was trying to control the situation while repeatedly yelling at the owner to get the animal back inside.
The deputy who was then known as Wes Manion, a Waller County sheriff's deputy, said that the tiger did not seem aggressive and shooting it was the last thing he wanted.
