Man last seen with missing Houston tiger jailed on unrelated charge

A Bengal tiger is still at large somewhere in the Houston area, police say, but the man last seen with the big cat is now behind bars.
Victor Hugo Cuevas was taken into custody Friday after a Fort Bend County judge revoked his bond on a pending, unrelated murder charge from 2017.
The judge set a new bond for $300,000 and asked the state and defense teams to figure out a trial date on the murder case.
What was supposed to be a short bond revocation hearing turned into a dramatic, day-long examination into what happened Sunday night when prosecutors say Cuevas was spotted with the tiger in a residential neighborhood.
