Joe Exotic is one of the most popular and richest Chief Of Police who was born on March 5, 1963 in Garden City, Kansas, United States.
Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage (né Schreibvogel; born March 5, 1963), better known by his stage name Joe Exotic, is an American former zoo operator and convicted felon. The former owner and operator of the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (a.k.a. G. W. Zoo) in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, Maldonado-Passage had claimed to be the most prolific breeder of tigers in the United States. Before working with animals he was a police officer—briefly serving as the chief of police in Eastvale, Texas. Exotic has had three unsuccessful runs for public office, first for President of the United States in 2016 as an independent, and then for Governor of Oklahoma in 2018 as a Libertarian. In 2017 before officially entering the race for Governor he filed as a candidate seeking the Libertarian nomination for President.
Schreibvogel worked at various jobs before opening a pet store with his brother Garold in Arlington, Texas, in 1986. In 1997, after closing the first pet store and opening a new one nearby, Schreibvogel came into conflict with Arlington officials over repeated code violations for decorations and signs; he had been hanging gay pride symbols such as a United States flag with rainbow stripes in the store windows, and he accused city inspectors of homophobia and of targeting the business because of his sexual orientation. After his brother’s death in a car accident in 1997, Schreibvogel sold the pet store and purchased a 16-acre (6.5 ha) Oklahoma farm with his parents. Two years after his brother’s death, the farm opened as Garold Wayne Exotic Animal Memorial Park as a dedication to his brother. Two of Garold’s pets were the zoo’s first inhabitants.
