SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – One of the three victims of San Francisco Zoo tiger attack was intoxicated and admitted to yelling and waving at the animal while standing atop the railing of the big cat enclosure, police said in court documents filed Thursday.

Paul Dhaliwal, 19, told the father of Carlos Sousa Jr., 17, who was killed, that the three yelled and waved at the tiger but insisted they never threw anything into its pen to provoke the cat, according to a search warrant affidavit.

The affidavit, which requested a search warrant for the surviving victims’ cell phones and car, also cites multiple reports of a group of young men taunting animals at the zoo, the Chronicle reported.

Toxicology results for Dhaliwal showed that his blood alcohol level was 0.16 – twice the legal limit for driving. His 24-year-old brother Kulbir Dhaliwal and Sousa also had alcohol in their blood but within the legal limit.

All three also had marijuana in their systems, Matthews said. Kulbir Dhaliwal told police that the three had smoked pot and each had “a couple shots of vodka” before leaving San Jose for the zoo on Dec. 25, the affidavit said.
