Man charged with disoderly conduct for taking a Tiger into a bar

 

A man has been charged with disorderly conduct after taking a TIGER into a bar.
John Basile, 57, is alleged to have visited Uncle Richie's Bar in Lockport, Illinois, on February 15 while accompanied by the big cat.


The cub lives with Basile at his animal rescue centre, Big Run Wolf Ranch.
The sanctuary is licensed by the US government.

Lockport Police Chief Terry Lemming told WBBM: "My concern was really for the people who frequent the downtown area."

Witness Frances Escoe said: "There were people in their cars shouting like, 'Is that a tiger? Is that a tiger?' going over the Ninth Street Bridge."

Basile has also been charged with reckless conduct and possession of a dangerous animal.
