The Omaha woman who authorities say was bitten by a tiger at the city’s zoo last fall was behind bars herself on Sunday after authorities reportedly found her staggering in the street and harassing a man and two teenage boys.

Before authorities could get Jacqueline Eide behind bars, though, Eide tried to take a bite of her own — out of an officer, according to police.

Police say they were called to the area of 30th and Mason Streets about 3 p.m. Saturday because a woman reportedly was harassing two youths.

Officers arriving on the scene encountered Eide, 33, whom they described as “intoxicated and irrational.” She was carrying a large plastic cup that she told police contained vodka and orange juice.
