§ MONKEY ON THE LOOSE IN W. VA!
Someone saw the monkey drinking from a pond about 11 a.m., Ebersole said. The black monkey, which possibly had a white face, then ran into some woods, Ebersole said. Dispatchers said the monkey is about 3 feet tall. A monkey can pose a dangerous situation because the animals can carry diseases like hepatitis, Ebersole said. And they can bite, Ebersole said. “Monkeys are not always nice like in the pictures and cartoons,” Ebersole said. Ebersole said the Jefferson County Health Department wants to capture the monkey because of possible diseases it could be carrying.
Ebersole said MANY things.
