An Oklahoma man owns a private petting zoo with a lot of exotic animals. A few years ago, a woman complained about his unethical treatment of the animals. However, she runs an animals sanctuary, so she's kind of a rival.
The zookeeper got so angry with her criticism of him that he hired a hit-man to take her out. He offered one of his employees $3,000 to fly to Florida and kill her. The employee said no, so the zookeeper found someone else to hire. That person turned out to be an undercover FBI agent.
And if his mugshot looks familiar... he once ran for governor of Oklahoma and has been featured on John Oliver's show.
