Tiger King star Jeff Lowe claims Carole Baskin and husband are spying on him with drones

Tiger King star Jeff Lowe has accused Carole Baskin and her husband of spying on him drones.

When Lowe tried to confront them about his allegations a fight broke out with his neighbours and the police were called, it's claimed.

The Lowes called the police on Tuesday to report a disturbance at their home in Thackerville, Oklahoma, according to a report by TMZ.

When the cops showed up, they reportedly discovered that Jeff had gotten into a fight with a neighbour, which wasn't Carole or her husband Howard.

Lowe told the website it started when his son saw a drone flying over the zoo.

He claims that when he went to investigate he saw Carole, Howard and his neighbours, a couple, hanging with a film crew.

Lowe said that the group went away when they saw him, but when he tried to stop a car leaving the area, thinking Carole was inside, the neighbour got out as they fought.

TMZ said that law enforcement confirmed that Carole was in the area but not on Lowe's property, and didn't commit a crime.

Howard said they were flying a drone in the area to monitor conditions at the zoo.

He claimed the footage shows what appears to be stress-related or "stereotypic" pacing among the animals.

They had a film crew there to record what they were doing, and the couple were visiting Lowe's neighbours for a different reason, he said.

Lowe claimed the neighbour's son started the fight by throwing coffee over his car and pushing him.

But Howard said Jeff started the fight by pushing the neighbour's son to the ground.

TMZ reports that the police report will be sent to the local District Attorney, who will decide whether Lowe or the man he was fighting will be charged.

The Mirror has contacted a rep for Carole Baskin for comment.
