Tiger Attack Victim Makes Deal In Shoplifting Case

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― A judge had agreed to dismiss shoplifting charges against one of the men who survived a Christmas Day tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo.

As part of a plea deal, Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal agreed Thursday to serve five years of probation and stay away from all Target stores.

The 20-year-old Dhaliwal was arrested in March after prosecutors said he was caught trying to shoplift video game equipment from a Target store in San Leandro.

Dhaliwal is currently serving a 16-month state prison sentence for violating his probation in connection with an April 2007 reckless driving arrest in San Jose.

Meanwhile, he and his brother—Kulbir—filed a federal lawsuit last week against the city and county of San Francisco, the zoo and others over the tiger attack.
