(07-27) 10:00 PDT San Jose -- One of two San Jose brothers who survived a Christmas Day 2007 tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo has been arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession after a car he was a passenger in was pulled over while heading the wrong way on a street next to the San Jose State University campus, police said.
Kulbir Dhaliwal, 25, was booked into the Santa Clara County jail on suspicion of possessing about 3 grams of cocaine and being under the influence after the car was pulled over about 2:20 a.m. Wednesday, university police Sgt. John Laws said.

The driver of the car, Tarlok Dhaliwal, 26, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, Laws said. The two appear to be brothers. A third person in the car was not arrested.
Kulbir Dhaliwal recently split with his younger brother Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal what remained of a $900,000 settlement the zoo paid them in connection with the attack. At least $75,000 was applied to medical liens, and their attorney took a cut, typically about one-third.
Kulbir Dhaliwal, who police records show had to be put in restraints when arrested in a September 2007 drunken scuffle with police, had to be held down in this most recent incident for authorities to take a blood sample, Laws said.
