Continuous saga
<b>Men from tiger attack arrested again</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>The brothers recently split what remained of a $900,000 settlement the zoo paid them in connection with the attack. </b>Their arrests come two weeks after the older sibling, Kulbir Dhaliwal, 25, of San Jose was booked on suspicion of felony cocaine possession after being stopped near San Jose State University.
The latest incident happened at 1:20 a.m. Wednesday when San Mateo police Officer Joseph Cassin stopped Dhaliwal for driving on a shoulder on-ramp to Highway 101 near Peninsula Avenue, said Steve Wagstaffe, San Mateo County's chief deputy district attorney. Dhaliwal's passenger was his brother, Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal, 21.
The officer smelled the odor of marijuana in the car and saw an open bottle of Grey Goose vodka inside, Wagstaffe said. It was the same brand of vodka that San Francisco police found in Kulbir Dhaliwal's car after the tiger attack, authorities said.
Kulbir Dhaliwal failed a series of field-sobriety tests and had a blood-alcohol level of .10 percent, authorities said. The level that constitutes drunken driving is 0.08 percent. When the officer asked Amritpal Dhaliwal for his identification, he lied and said he was Tarlok Dhaliwal, his 26-year-old brother who had also been arrested in the incident near San Jose State, authorities said.
Kulbir Dhaliwal, meanwhile, "joined in the lie" and also said his passenger was Tarlok Dhaliwal, Wagstaffe said.
Cassin and Sgt. Dave Norris eventually obtained the proper identification and learned that Amritpal Dhaliwal was on parole and was trying to hide his identity, Wagstaffe said.
Later Wednesday, Amritpal Dhaliwal was charged with providing false identification, a misdemeanor and was taken to San Mateo County Jail because of his parole status. Kulbir Dhaliwal was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving and was released on his own recognizance.
