Cocaine bust of tiger attack victim
John Coté, Chronicle Staff Writer

Sunday, July 26, 2009

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(07-27) 10:00 PDT San Jose -- One of two San Jose brothers who survived a Christmas Day 2007 tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo has been arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession after a car he was a passenger in was pulled over while heading the wrong way on a street next to the San Jose State University campus, police said.

-----------------------------

The driver of the car, Tarlok Dhaliwal, 26, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, Laws said. The two appear to be brothers. A third person in the car was not arrested.

Kulbir Dhaliwal recently split with his younger brother Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal what remained of a $900,000 settlement the zoo paid them in connection with the attack. At least $75,000 was applied to medical liens, and their attorney took a cut, typically about one-third.

Kulbir Dhaliwal, who police records show had to be put in restraints when arrested in a September 2007 drunken scuffle with police, had to be held down in this most recent incident for authorities to take a blood sample, Laws said.

Remember this story? Some guys taunted a tiger at the SF zoo until the Tiger jumped out and killed one and kicked the asses of the others?

7. Misleading headline - they were antagonizers, not victims
The true victim was the tiger, and the guy who died trying to save one of the idiots.

9. I'm not a bit surprised by this news, I only wonder
why it took so long for the media to finally write about the brother's and their true
character.

11. 140 MPH Car Chase among past crimes in this bunch...
Kulbir Dhaliwal failed a series of field-sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level of 0.10 percent, authorities said. The level that constitutes drunken driving is 0.08 percent. When the officer asked Amritpal Dhaliwal for his identification, he lied and said he was Tarlok Dhaliwal, his 26-year-old brother who had also been arrested in the incident near San Jose State, authorities said.

snip

On Thursday, Amritpal Dhaliwal pleaded no contest to providing false identification, a misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 10 days in jail. His sentence will run concurrently with any sentence he will receive for a parole violation. Kulbir Dhaliwal was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving and released on his own recognizance.

On July 22, Kulbir Dhaliwal was arrested on suspicion of possessing about 3 grams of cocaine after a car he was riding in was pulled over while heading the wrong way on a street next to the San Jose State campus, police said. Kulbir Dhaliwal had to be held down for authorities to take a blood sample.

snip

Amritpal Dhaliwal also has a series of other criminal convictions, including one for leading police on a 140-mph chase through San Jose in April 2007.

12. It should be against the law to kill an endangered species, no matter what
they do, no matter how many Humans they kill, they are just animals & they can't compete with Humans.
