Kulbir Dhaliwal, one of the brothers who survived the tiger attack at the SF Zoo back in Christmas of 2007, for which they both were recently awarded a $900,000 settlement, is already back to his thuggish ways. Dhaliwal, who was a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Santa Clara County on Wednesday, was arrested on suspicion of possessing either 3 ounces or 3 grams of cocaine and suspicion of being under the influence. (The Chronicle and San Jose Mercury have conflicting reports. There's a big difference between ounces and grams... Update: the Chronicle has updated their story with grams.) Dhaliwal had to be held down in order for the police to obtain a blood sample, and police records show that he also had to be restrained during his September 2007 arrest. The driver of the vehicle, Tarlok Dhaliwal, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. It's unclear what his relation is to the infamous duo.

Is Tarlok like Oliver on the Brady Bunch? He gets introduced after the Dhaliwali's jump the shark. Or, um, the tiger?
Do they actually have parents or were they sent here alone and raised by rabid wolves?
Maybe somebody needs to translate all of the news into Punjabi for their parents so they can get a better idea of what the kids have really been up to lately.
Kulbir should have saved the cocaine from Wednesday and the syntetic urine from the tiger mauling and had himself a grand ole time at Dore Alley.
...where he might well have been mauled by bears. What's the dif?
If he was caught w/ 3 grams, calling him a 'thug' for being in possession of .5 grams less than your average Balboa Cafe patron on a Saturday night shows a zipcode bias.
If he was getting his swagger on w/ 3 ounces, then it looks like our $900,000 taxpayer investment is going south.
His previous actions are what provoked the thug reference. I had also only seen the SFGate story about it being 3 ounces at first.
The Chronicle has since updated the story with grams, which I agree really isn't that much. The San Jose Mercury refers to it as "felony possession of 3 grams." Is that small of an amount really considered a felony?
Possessing any amount of cocaine is a felony.
yeah, and he would definitely be up for a felony because he's kind of an asshole, and he took the City for almost a million.
(and I wasn't accusing you of that bias, i was accusing the papers)
Hopefully this adds some probation to his list of no no's.
Then we can fire up the prison rape jokes in a few months when he does something else stupid.

Code Section: Health & Safety §11000, et seq. §11350, et seq.
Possession: State prison (2-4 years) and fine up to $70; if probation granted, there are additional requirements.
I wonder how much probation $900,000 buys.
honestly if i had 900k handed to me, i'd celebrate with a line or ten
Glad to see our taxpayer dollars are at work. Is this the "stimulus" effect that Bernacke talks about? Think of all of the work for drug dealers and cops he is responsible for.
Wow! The Kublir Elf and his bro Warlok should open a Ripley's believe-it-or-not proving that excrement can get up and walk.
Yes well, a tiger can't change its stripes. The universe exacts its own particular kind of justice, if you believe in that sort of thing.
why can't the cops "accidentally" shoot these 2 dipshits? I'll testify that it was an accident... just give me a call!
