Notorious animal exhibitor Jeff Lowe was arrested on April 4, 2018, after being charged with three counts of unlawful possession of wild animals in November 2017. The November charges came after local law-enforcement officials raided his Las Vegas home and confiscated two tiger cubs and a solitary lemur following complaints from PETA.
