Allen Glover was allegedly Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel's hitman and appeared on Netflix's Tiger King. Joe Exotic hired two separate hitmen to murder his rival, Carole Baskin.

In the Netflix series, Allen Glover is introduced as a handyman who worked for Jeff Lowe. When Lowe took over Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel’s G.W. Zoo in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, he fired a number of people and brought in his own workers, including Glover.^[1][4]

While incarcerated in Louisiana, Allen got a teardrop tattoo under his eye, which Joe believed meant that he had killed before. However, Allen insisted his teardrop tattoo was to commemorate his late grandfather.^[2][4]

In episode 5 of Tiger King, Glover said:

“When I first got to the zoo, I didn’t know anything about the zoo.

Jeff said ‘I’ll give you money and a place to live and whatnot,’ so I was like, ‘I’ll take him up on his offer.'”^[1]

In the episode, Glover also reveals that he spent some time in jail, and has had numerous run-ins with the law:

As shown in the docuseries, Glover did not get along with Joe "Exotic" Schreibvogel. And when the zookeeper gave him money to go to Florida to kill Carole Baskin, Glover took the money and disappeared for a while.^[1][4]

When Lowe learned that Schreibvogel was under federal investigation, he urged Glover to come forward and talk to law enforcement. Schreibvogel attempted to hire an undercover federal agent posing as a hitman to murder Baskin but was unable to pay and complete the transaction. But with Glover’s testimony, the authorities were able to confirm Schreibvogel’s intentions and crimes.^[1][4]

According to the United States Department of Justice, during Schreibvogel’s March 2018 trial, “a jury heard evidence that Schreibvogel gave Allen Glover $3,000 to travel from Oklahoma to South Carolina and then to Florida to murder Carole Baskin, with a promise to pay thousands more after the deed.”^[1][4]

During the trial, Glover testified that he never intended to go through with the murder, and just wanted to take the money and run.

As reported by The Oklahoman, Glover told the court that he went back home to South Carolina and then to Florida to warn Baskin, but just ended up getting drunk and high on painkillers and cocaine. “I just found a beach and found some people to party with,” Glover said. “I had some money.”^[1][4]

Allen also told the court Joe paid for a fake Arizona ID and gave him one of the G.W.

Zoo park cellphones.

He also told the court Joe had sent an online photograph of Carole Baskin and saved it to the mobile phone, which Allen said was to make sure he “wouldn’t kill the wrong person.” Allen also testified Joe sold a liger cub for cash to pay him.^[2][4]
