DALLAS — A man was arrested in connection with multiple incidents that have occurred at the Dallas Zoo over the last several weeks, including torn enclosures and stolen animals, officials announced Friday.
Davion Irvin, 24, was booked into the Dallas County jail Thursday night after he was spotted near animal exhibits at the Dallas World Aquarium, according to police. He faces six charges of animal cruelty and a count of burglary in connection with two emperor tamarin monkeys that were taken from their enclosure earlier this week, police said.
He faces an additional burglary charge related to a cut habitat for a clouded leopard, and he is also connected to a cut enclosure for langur monkeys, a police spokeswoman said.
