The animals were later found safe inside an abandoned home and returned to the zoo. Irvin is also accused of cutting enclosures in another monkey exhibit and the clouded leopard habitat.

The leopard was found inside the zoo unharmed. 

When he was arrested, Irvin allegedly told authorities that he would take the animals again if he were given the chance.
