SFist Tonight
Are Kulbir Dhaliwal, 25, and Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal, 21, the two brothers involved in the 2007 tiger mauling for which they recently received a $900K settlement, crying out for attention, are they just plain old stupid, or both? Just a couple of weeks ago, Kulbir Dhaliwal was arrested for alleged possession of 3 grams of cocaine on July 22, while riding in the car of Tarlok Dhaliwal, 26, who has since been confirmed as the third infamous brother and who was initially pulled over in the July incident for driving the wrong way on a one-way street near the San Jose campus and was arrested for suspicion of being under the influence.
Last night, Kulbir and Amritpal were arrested in San Mateo County after they were pulled over for driving on a shoulder on-ramp to Highway 101. The car allegedly reeked of pot, and there was an open bottle of Grey Goose in the car. (They just love their Grey Goose, don't they?) Kulbir, who was driving, failed a series of sobriety tests and had a blood alcohol level of .10. Amritpal, who was later discovered to be on parole, lied and said he was the third Dhaliwal brother Tarlok, and Kulbir went along with the lie. Kulbir was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving and was released on his own recognizance, and Amritpal was charged with providing false identification, also a misdemeanor.
At the time of the tiger attack in 2007, both Kulbir and Amritpal were facing charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest after an incident in San Jose that September, and Amritpal also has a series of other criminal convictions, including one for leading police on a 140-mph chase through San Jose in April 2007.

Just think, they are drinking, smoking and snorting all of that settlement money away. What a legacy...
Let's take up a collection and send these guys skydiving. Load the plane up with blow, Grey Goose and a couple ounces of weed and let the good times roll. They won't even realize they're not wearing parachutes when the light turns green.
I hope they end up in prison before they end up killing somebody. er...somebody else.
Please let me write your memoirs, Dhaliwal Brothers! Please! I'll do it for just three grams of coke and a bottle of Grey Goose!
Way to give drinking and smoking pot a bad name.
i think the dhaliwal bros is a pretty cool guy. eh taunts tigers and doesn't afraid of anything.
Are you sure the Dhaliwal brothers didn't just hack your commenting account?
you fail it (it is meme awareness)
Maybe they are acting out as an unhealthy way of treating their PTSD after getting attacked by a tiger and watching their friend getting mauled?
I'm guessing they are just petty criminals but there could be that component as well.
Yeah, it's either PTSD or they're just major fucking tools who don't give a shit about anyone else. One of the two.
Yeah, the PTSD would make sense if they hadn't already been arrested before the mauling incident on Christmas 2007, ie, public intox and resisting arrest in September 2007 and Amritpal being involved in a 140-mph police chase in April 2007.
I don't even know why you don't do time after a high speed chase. I had a co-worker once who got pulled over and fought with the CHP officer (and apparently lost fairly quickly) and he didn't even get prosecuted.
It's like you can hit a sweet spot in the continuum of punk-ass behavior, and just keep going until you kill somebody. Even then, I'm not sure you'd do much time.
or maybe they're just acting like a lottery winner, or maybe after beating culpability in the tiger attack they feel a bit invincible. just add coke.
Every small town has wild family who is always getting in trouble. But you gotta mess up a lot to have such a "small town loser" reputation throughout the entire Bay Area. I want to see what bigger tricks they have up their sleeves!
Tatiana was right. Shoulda believed her in the first place.
no doubt!
I just wish Tatiana would killed them all...
Tatiana told da truth!
Those Krazy Kids over at SFGate comments are now referring to them as Armpit and Kulprit.
'tarlok' pretty much stands on its own, though.
Am I the only one wishing the tiger had a chance to eat these two?
Even the tiger had discerning tastes. Probably would have spit them out.
All these guys sound like they were named after Star Trek bad guys.
Q: Pardon my ignorance here but how much coke is 3 grams? (besides the weight of 3 paper clips)
With that settlement money, surely these ass clowns could have afforded a kilo of blow to carry around in their rock climbing gear (or wherever you would attempt to non-descriptly store that much white powder) that *hopefully* they can OD on in the near future.
-mm
not enough to kill you, but way more than enough for two people on a weeknight*
*does not apply to the independently wealthy.
It's enough to keep 3 guys pretty wired for most of the night. Or me for an hour. KIDDING.
the bart police need to intervene
