MONTGOMERY COUNTY — A driver called 911 after seeing a white tiger sitting on the jersey wall on I-270, but turns out, it wasn't real.

On Saturday morning, the Emergency Communications Center (911) received a call from a driver who reported a white tiger sitting on the jersey wall of I-270 near Montrose Road in Montgomery County.

Officers responded and a Rockville City Police Department Officer located the tiger: a large, lifelike, porcelain figurine.

How and why the tiger came to find himself on the interstate remains a mystery.

The tiger has now been adopted by MCP's 1st District officers and has found a new perch at their station.
