JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. —Law enforcement officers never know what to expect when they go to work each day. Sheriff's deputies in Jefferson County, Missouri worked an unusual call on Friday.
Shortly before 4p.m., deputies responded to the area of Hwys 21 and M for reports of a subject monkeying around, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff social media page.
"First-responding units found the subject was naked except for what appeared to be a tutu. After careful negotiations, Deputies were able to get close enough to go “hands on” with the subject and bring this bananas situation under control without incident."
"In all seriousness, this is a great example of law enforcement officers never knowing what they’ll face on any given call, and having to be prepared to handle whatever the job throws at them."
"This spider monkey was staying at a nearby home when it managed to open a door and get outside. Deputies surrounded the animal and eventually got it back to its caretaker. What a day!"
