Santa Clara county authorities arrested a 38-year-old man after he was allegedly discovered to be high on meth, owning cockfighting tools, and skinning then eating a bobcat.

Henry Arnibal was arrested on Sleepy Valley Road, and stated he’d killed the bobcat with a .22 rifle, and then ate it, after it attacked his roosters.

The carcass of the bobcat was found hanging on a fence.

All the charges, except for the drug charge, are fish and game violations. All are misdemeanors.

Arnibal was discovered living in a trailer on land authorities believed to be a former marijuana farm.

Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Steve Lowney said 50 roosters, cockfighting hooks, and the bobcat’s carcass were taken into evidence.
