A Bengal tiger was seen prowling around the front yard of a home in Fleetwood on Ivy Wall Drive.

A neighbor told KPRC 2 families spotted the tiger right before 8 p.m. while out on an evening walk.
A Waller County deputy who lives in the neighborhood was notified of the tiger by other residents. The deputy, Wes Manion, said he pulled out his service weapon and a man came out from a nearby home, saying, “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot!” The tiger’s owner then took the animal inside the home.
Origin
Houston police are actively looking for a man who they believe owns what authorities are describing as a Bengal tiger that was seen wandering in the front yard of a home in a residential neighborhood.
Houston police Commander Ron Borza said during a May 10, 2021, news conference that he couldn’t yet name the suspect in the incident because the man hasn’t yet been formally charged with a crime, but he expected the suspect will be charged with evading police.
However on May 11, police announced they had arrested Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, on the charge of evading arrest. The whereabouts of the tiger, as of this writing, aren’t known. An attorney for Cuevas told a local news station that he isn’t the owner of the tiger.
