Man and his monkey arrested after high speed chase

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A man with a monkey on his back was arrested Wednesday in Burien, Washington. Literally.

Police say a reckless driver was spotted on SR 509 going 112 miles per hour. The driver exited the highway, lost control, and hit a rock in a yard. The driver then jumped from the car and ran off with a monkey on his back.


Officers found the man and his monkey hiding nearby. The pet has been released, because, as police said on Facebook, β€œhe was only engaged in monkey business.”
