Monkey news
Aside from the bizarre editing, some nice quotes.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A man who stole a pet capuchin monkey worth was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison.
Kenneth M. King, 25, who pleaded guilty to burglary in the February incident, was also ordered to spend five years on supervised probation. "You essentially took a member of that family," Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Michele Dane Jaklitsch said in handing down the sentence.
Brian and Michelle Howard, who own Janey, a white-throated capuchin worth $7,000, said outside the courtroom that their monkey has been frightened since she was returned to them two days after the Feb. 2 break-in. "She's very clingy," said Brian Howard, who bought the creature as a Christmas gift for his wife. Janey still holds a teddy bear for comfort.
Assistant State's Attorney David P. Ash said King and his girlfriend, Wendy M. Ward, 30, were intrigued by Janey when they went to the Howards' house to by a bird from them. King stole the 3-pound pet because he liked it, and Ward covered for him, Ash said.
After the theft, police received an anonymous tip from someone in Baltimore about a monkey. When they followed up on the tip, they executed a search warrant and recovered Janey, who was identified by her owners.
"You can't hide something like a monkey," said Anne Arundel police spokesman Sgt. Shawn Urbas said at the time
Sorry Shifty, I can't ever seem to find any interesting lizard news. It's all about monkeys.
