Oliver In Chains

Oliver "Capuchin" Monkey has been captured in Tupelo, Mississippi. It took an old style football dogpile of humans to capture the fugitive this time, though. (The number of people involved is not specified in the story, but we have this mental picture of about twenty guys piling on.) And Oliver didn't go peacefully even with all that - he bit one of his captors. He won't be getting out quite as easily this time, either. He's been triple-chained into his cage.

Now, park officials have put three chains with locks on his cage, said park manager Kirk Nemecheck.

"There’s one on top, one on the bottom and one in the middle," Nemecheck said. "If he gets out again, someone is letting him out."

Oliver was found about four miles from the park in a yard off Endville Road. Park officials said he probably followed the railroad tracks to get there.

"The police showed up and helped us," he said. "We surrounded him, a guy jumped on him and got his hand bit, but we got him."

Oliver has so far shown himself to be smarter than the people trying to keep him locked up. We simply cannot wait for the next jailbreak. We're thinking of sending him a banana with a file hidden in it just for the giggle factor.

    Remember Oliver, just your name rank and serial number.
