Kicker - Tiger trouble

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Well, in most places, keeping a pet tiger is against the law.

Same thing in England. But police in the town of Oldham received reports of a tiger lounging in a neighborhood garden.

Police approached the tiger, who didn’t even move a muscle.

And no wonder. Soon enough the officers figured out why. The big cat was a stuffed toy.

Police quickly nicknamed him Tony the Tiger and posted a picture of him on Facebook with the caption of what he always said about frosted flakes:

AUDIO: They’re Great!

Tony is now safely booked into the property department at Oldham Police station.
