A 33-year-old woman has been accused by Omaha police of breaking into the Henry Doorly Zoo so that she could pet a tiger? Their evidence?
One of the tigers apparently bit her!
Police said officers were called to Creighton University Medical Center around 7:20 a.m. Sunday after the Jacqueline Eide, 33, showed up with a hand injury. Officer James Shade says the woman acted aggressively and appeared to be intoxicated.
Police determined that Eide snuck into the zoo to try to pet a tiger. She was bitten when she reached into the animal's cage.
It does not appear that Eide was arrested. Instead, she was ticketed and charged with trespassing.
