A stuffed toy tiger tied to the top of a vehicle generated a stir and a 911 call Monday afternoon in Camas.
Connor Zuvich of Vancouver was hanging out by Lacamas Lake with some friends when a driver came by and dumped some trash bags and a giant stuffed tiger. Zuvich picked up the tiger and tied it to the top of his sport-utility vehicle.
“The thing looked really realistic,” Zuvich said. “We were just cruising around Lacamas Lake with it.”
Around 4:15 p.m., Camas police were sent to an “animal problem” on Leadbetter Road, where Officer Henry Scott pulled over Zuvich. The 19-year-old thought perhaps he was being pulled over because he wasn’t allowed to have something tied to the top of his SUV.
