On Monday morning, a 911 caller reported something that even the Sanford
Police Department in Florida called a little "out of the ordinary".
There was a mail-eating monkey sitting on top of a neighbor's mailbox.
"Our officers are ready for anything - literally," Public Information Officer Shannon Cordingly said.
Luckily, someone in the neighborhood happened to see the monkey and recognize the situation was "not normal," Cordingly said.Unsure whether or not the monkey was going to be aggressive, five police officers, along with members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, responded to the call as a precaution. Officers used a patrol car to block off the road and shook a water bottle in an attempt to lure the monkey away from the busy street. The tactic worked, but it also led the monkey to the top of a patrol car, where he decided to pull molding off of the car, Cordingly said.
