Davion Irvin, charged with six counts of animal cruelty and two counts of burglary, remains jailed on $25,000 bond

A 24-year-old man linked to an unusual string of crimes at the Dallas zoo told police that after he stole two monkeys he took them on to the city’s light rail system to make his getaway, court records show. Davion Irvin also said he loves animals and will steal more if released.

Irvin, who remains jailed on $25,000 bond, was arrested last week after asking questions at a Dallas aquarium. He is charged with six counts of animal cruelty and two counts of burglary. An attorney did not comment.
