Police said Basile and the tiger had been spotted earlier in the evening at Uncle Ritchie's Bar, where the animal allegedly bit a woman in December. Basile, whose ranch is federally licensed, was charged with misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct, reckless conduct and possession of a dangerous animal.
