Trisha Denise Meyer is now facing federal charges after allegedly brokering the sale of an endangered jaguar cub.
There were also several monkeys in the home, which had attacked people before, Meyer reportedly told police. She was also accused of keeping tigers and monkeys at a home in Nevada, where officers discovered a 17-year-old watching the tigers feed on raw chicken in the backyard.
“B.B. told me that she compared the spot and whisker patterns on the live jaguar dropped at the facility on September 17, 2021, and believed they matched,” the complaint continues, noting that the “spot and whisker patterns on individual jaguars are unique and can be used in scientific research to definitively identify” them.
Investigators were able to speak with H.G. after he was arrested on two felony warrants in Texas and Arizona on unrelated charges. H.G. denied owning the jaguar and claimed the owner was someone he described as looking Indian or Saudi Arabian. Later, H.G. told investigators he believed “a woman from Texas” originally owned the jaguar and he didn’t know how it got to Texas.
About two months after Rahman allegedly offloaded the jaguar to H.G., the woman saw the same cub at H.G’s house. H.G., who was living with his pregnant partner, bought the cub from Rahman for approximately $20,000, prosecutors believe. When he then bought the jaguar, one individual told investigators, the cub “appeared to be very sick and started ‘splatter pooping everywhere.’” The person said he warned Rahman “that purchasing the jaguar was illegal and advised him not to do it.”
