LOS ANGELES — Sarah Picchi was on a work call at her Los Feliz home on Monday morning when wildlife officials buzzed her front gate with a startling message: You have a lion in your backyard.
“Of course, I knew it was P-22, because I’ve been following the story,” Picchi said.
They carried the big cat, who has roamed the hills of Los Angeles for more than a decade and become a celebrity in the process, out of the muddy yard in a bright green blanket used as a sling.
