Oliver "Capuchin" Monkey has been busted after a week on the lam. The escapee had eluded authorities (most likely by wearing an Elvis disguise) despite a huge banana reward. Tupelo resident Mike Fair should be able to claim his bananas after turning in the miscreant.
TUPELO – Oliver the monkey is back in his pen at the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo after a week on the loose.
An observant motorist Monday morning ended the search for the white-faced capuchin who had unlocked his cage and fled the park July 31.
Mike Fair spotted what he called “the little bitty ol’ monkey” on the side of Coley Road as he rode to work with his son and a friend at about 8:30 a.m.
One hopes that the Tupelo Buffalo Park will install better locks before putting Oliver back in his cell.
They can’t keep him locked up forever! Oliver will find some way to bust out again….
I wonder if Oliver will get 30 days in the cooler for his escape?
