Police in Grand Junction, Colo., are seeking a man who allegedly pepper-sprayed a woman in the face and then stole her pet monkey.
The woman, who traveled from Missouri to Colorado to sell her black cap Capuchin monkey, met the suspect Monday in the parking lot of a La Quinta Inn motel with her primate in a carrier.
The man then sprayed the woman in the face, grabbed the carrier and fled the scene on foot, Kate Porras, Grand Junction Police Department information coordinator, told NBC News.

I assume this guy was going to sell it also after stealing it...poor monkey.

(56,177 posts)9. Not sure...but a woman who can travel from Missouri to Colorado...
Doesn't seem to need assistance.
And on edit, I'm sure there are laws in most states about registering such animals...selling out of state makes me think this was not at all above-board.

but no, it's really a monkey.
and the victim was going to sell it in the parking lot of a cheap motel.
i don't understand any of this.
