DALLAS — The man arrested in connection with a series of incidents at the Dallas Zoo, including cut enclosures and missing animals, told police he plans to return to the zoo and steal again if he’s released from jail, according to arrest-warrant affidavits obtained by The Dallas Morning News on Monday.
The newly-obtained court records reveal key details about what happened in the mystery at the Dallas Zoo over the last several weeks, which made international headlines. Davion Irvin, 24, who was booked into the Dallas County jail Thursday after being spotted at The Dallas World Aquarium, told investigators how he was able to enter the zoo several times — evading security — and also outlined his plans to take additional animals, according to the affidavits.
Irvin, who told police he “loved animals,” faces six charges of animal cruelty and two charges of burglary. His attorney did not return a request for comment.
