A 3-year-old child survived an attack by a pet mountain lion 31 years ago. The child, Emilio Flores, was in stable condition after the incident. The mountain lion, named Outlaw, was owned by James Thatcher, a local business owner. Thatcher had kept the animal at a farm, but it was at his auto business when the attack occurred.

The incident happened on August 26, 1995. Further details about the attack and its aftermath are available.

A lawsuit was filed against Thatcher and another man, Simon Ramon, in late October of that year, despite Thatcher's expectation that it would not happen due to his friendship with the family.
