Michael Holston, the internet sensation famously known as The Real Tarzann, is being sued over a prickly little critter … a woman claims he’s got her pet porcupine locked in a cage and won’t fork it over!!!
According to legal docs obtained by TMZ … Corinne Oltz, the operator of Wild Animal World in Florida, claims a prehensile-tailed porcupine named Pickles went missing from her operation last year and ended up in Holston’s care … and she says he’s refusing to return her exotic pet.
Oltz claims the animal disappeared back in December, and this May she was notified of Pickles’ whereabouts … a cage on property in Miami, where Tarzann is the primary caretaker.
In the docs, Oltz claims she’s made several attempts to bring home Pickles … but says Tarzann, who fancies himself an animal educator to his 500k YouTube subscribers, is giving her the cold shoulder.
Oltz claims Tarzann is NOT Pickles’ owner — she claims she is — so she’s suing Holston and the owner of the property for $5,000 … what she says Pickles is worth.
We reached out to The Real Tarzann … and we’re on pins and needles awaiting a response.
As we’ve reported … Holston is currently facing criminal charges for burglary and battery after being arrested in Miami following a separate incident..
