FBI arrests Doc Antle of ‘Tiger King’ fame

“Tiger King” star Bhagavan “Doc” Antle was booked into a South Carolina jail by the FBI Friday evening

Antle, 62, was jailed in a North Myrtle Beach detention center around 5:40 p.m., and no charges against him were listed,

according to government records. TMZ reported that the arrest was related to money laundering.

Antle — who was featured as a rival of Joe Exotic in the hit Netflix docuseries — owns Myrtle Beach Safari.

In recent years, he was charged with multiple felonies for trafficking and abusing exotic animals.

Activists cheered his latest arrest in a statement to The Post.

“We applaud the Dept. of Justice and FBI for arresting Bhagavan ‘Doc’ Antle

a longtime scoundrel engaged in the egregious and inhumane trade of dangerous big cats

said Marty Irby, executive director of Animal Wellness Action.
