Monkey on Lam After Police Corral it in Woman's Condo

PEWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) - A small monkey made its way into a woman's home but disappeared into a nearby marsh when an officer tried to corral it, authorities said Monday.

The monkey remained on the loose, said Det. Jake Bernotas of the Pewaukee Police Department.

Police were investigating a burglary when a woman in the same condominium complex reported that she saw a monkey in the rear of her residence.

She said she first heard a commotion around 3 a.m. Monday and thought it was a raccoon. Later that morning she heard a screeching so she pulled out binoculars and spotted the monkey.

Police had received no calls about a missing animal, Bernotas said.
