‘Tiger King’ personalities Jeff and Lauren Lowe, known to those who watched the Tiger King docu-series (and let’s face it, who didn’t?) as the couple who helped finance Joe Exotic’s flailing zoo before seemingly double-crossing the flamboyant big cat owner, have been arrested.
Two weeks ago, 68 big cats were seized from Lowe’s Oklahoma zoo, however, these new arrests shockingly have nothing to do with the accusations of “recurring inhumane treatment and improper handling” against the Lowes in regards to the big cats.
‘Tiger King’: Jeff Lowe and Wife Lauren Lowe Arrested
Instead, Jeff and Lauren were both arrested on the wee hours of Saturday morning, June 5th for DUIs- while driving together in the same Range Rover.
How did that come about?
According to the Oklahoma County police report, early Saturday morning, the Lowes’ Range Rover pulled out of a parking lot at a high speed before stopping abruptly when the driver saw a police car was nearby. After pulling back into a different parking lot, Lauren exited from the driver’s door to switch places with Jeff who had been in the passenger seat.
Jeff then began operating the vehicle, only to have the nearby police vehicle pursue the range rover with lights flashing. Jeff made an illegal lane change without signaling and pulled into a third parking lot.
A field sobriety test was conducted on Jeff, though police claim he already appeared to be “incredibly intoxicated”.
Lauren also appeared intoxicated, with tell-tale slurred speech and “other signs”. A second sobriety test was conducted and failed, and both Lauren and Jeff were arrested for DUIs!
A family that commits crimes together…
There has been no announcement as yet as to whether the two have been released on bond. At the time the story came out on line, both were still behind bars following their arrests.
