A Nevada man who claimed he "rescued" big cats from Tiger King star Joe Exotic faces charges for resisting officers and firearm possession as a prohibited person, following the seizure of seven tigers from his property.
Karl Mitchell, 71, was taken into custody Wednesday after Nye County deputies raided his property, where he allegedly kept the tigers without proper permits, KSNV reported. Sheriff Joe McGill said Mitchell had been evicted and had long refused to comply with county orders to remove the exotic animals.
