A teenager in the state of Washington came under police scrutiny after modifying his car.  It wasn't a loud exhaust or a booming sound system...  it was a tiger.

Connor Zuvich just couldn't pass up on a free tiger.

He was hanging out with some friends at Lacamas Lake when he says some guys pulled up, dumped a few trash bags along wth the giant stuffed animal.  They tied it to the roof of connor's s-u-v and cruised around the lake.  Soon they saw police lights.

Connor says most drivers just honked or gave him a thumbs up, but one of them thought it was real and called 9-1-1.  Even the cop may have been a little nervous at first.  Connor didn't get in any trouble.  He went home with a story to tell... And a brand new ornament for his car.

The police officer was initially sent on what the dispatcher called "an animal problem".
