His arrest warrant documents reveal new details about a peculiar case that has gripped the nation’s attention in recent weeks and triggered some concern among zoo staffers.

On January 13 during the early morning hours, Irvin allegedly entered the Dallas Zoo when it was closed to the public and intentionally cut the fenced enclosure for the clouded snow leopard, according to the affidavits.

He left the exhibit with the cut still in place, and the leopard escaped, setting off an hours-long pursuit later that morning when zoo officials realized the animal was gone.

On that same day, police received a tip from a man whose father is a pastor of a church that owns a vacant house in Lancaster.

The tipster said Irvin frequently visited the house, and the pastor provided consent for police to search the premises.

Detectives said the home’s interior was “in extreme poor condition” with dead animals, suspected cat feces, and mold and mildew.
