Monkey business behind 911 call from California zoo

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (AP) — Cops usually have a prime suspect. In this case it’s a primate suspect. The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office believes it was a Capuchin monkey that called 911 from a zoo last Saturday. The call disconnected and dispatchers tried to call and text back but there was no response, so deputies were sent to investigate. The address turned out to be the Zoo to You near Paso Robles, but no one there made the call. Deputies finally deduced that a monkey named Route had apparently picked up the zoo’s cellphone, which was in a golf cart used to move about the property.
