A friend drove Eide to the hospital where she was allegedly aggressive toward medical staff and showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Eide was cited by police at 7.20am for criminal trespass and remained in the hospital for treatment.

A spokesman for the zoo said that the tiger believed to have been involved, was an 18-year-old Malayan tiger named Mai.
