A popular street performer known as the "dog-cat-mouse guy", arrested by Bisbee police for loitering to beg and doing business without a license, will not face charges, the Cochise County Attorney's Office has announced.
Greg Pike is a familiar fixture on Bisbee's streets, where he stops on the sidewalk, stacks his pets atop one another and sets out a basket for donations. He accepts cash from those wanting to photograph his dog, cat and mouse, Booger, Kitty and Mousie, perched atop each other.
Bisbee police arrested Pike on May 21, booking him on the loitering and business-license charges. Two groups each raised his $910 bail within hours, and at least a dozen people accompanied Pike to his plea hearing.
The city attorney almost immediately dropped the charge.
