Rolls Royce driver arrested on suspicion of DUI – then cops found a monkey in his car Highway Patrol officers uncover ‘next level monkey business’ after motorist found to have baby primate in vehicle when pulled over for speeding in central California.
California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers received a surprise on Monday during a routine traffic stop when they pulled over a speeding driver and found a baby spider monkey wearing a pink polkadot onesie sitting in his car.
In an update to its original New Year’s Eve post, the CHP explained that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) had since taken possession of the animal and delivered it to Oakland Zoo “for appropriate care” by the facility’s expert zookeepers.
The officers noticed the white 2022 Rolls Royce Ghost travelling at “excessive speed” as it headed north of Avenue 17 on Highway 99 through Madera County and ordered the driver to pull over to the curb.
The post was accompanied by a video of Marcel swaddled in a blue blanket and eating pulped fruit from a plastic spoon, clearly immensely enjoying being cared for by the department’s director Amy Toler.
