\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cTiger King\u201d celebrity Doc Antle<\/a> was busted for allegedly trafficking lion cubs between Virginia and South Carolina, authorities said Friday.<\/p>\n

The famously ponytailed exotic zoo owner \u2014 who was featured as a rival of Joe Exotic in the hit Netflix docuseries<\/a> \u2014 was hit with 15 wildlife trafficking and animal cruelty charges, Virginia\u2019s attorney general<\/a> announced in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The agency\u2019s animal law unit spent months investigating Antle\u2019s Myrtle Beach Safari zoo in South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Investigators also looked at the Wild Animal Park in Winchester, Virginia, which is owned by Antle\u2019s partner Keith Wilson, the officials said.<\/p>\n

Investigators say they found that the partners \u201cviolated the Endangered Species Act\u201d by moving the animals between the two zoos \u2014 and between states \u2014 in poor conditions.<\/p>\n

Wilson was also charged with trafficking.<\/p>\n

In total, Antle was charged with wildlife trafficking, conspiracy to wildlife traffic and 13 additional misdemeanor charges linked to the animal cruelty and the Endangered Species Act.<\/p>\n

His daughters, Tawny Antle and Tilakum Watterson, also face animal cruelty charges.<\/p>\n

Details of the charges weren\u2019t immedia<\/a>tely clear Friday.<\/p>\n

In November 2019, Wilson was previously indicted on 46 counts of animal cruelty.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement seized 119 animals from Wilson\u2019s zoo after a judge found he \u201ccruelly treated\u201d tigers, bears, camels and other animals. He will go to trial in June 2021.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
