Monkey on the highway

No, this is NOT the monkey from the highway!

But that WAS the blatant call screaming from the scanners loud and clear!

The 2 interns I had on the desk with me at the time, Lauren and Sierra, could not believe what they had just heard!

But, it was a true call.

So someone called the Cleveland Police telling them they spotted a monkey on I-90 near the vicinity of West Blvd in Cleveland, Ohio.

Cleveland Police sent a few cars out there....and the police officers responded back to their dispatcher asking if they had contacted the zoo? They both told the dispatcher they really had no experience with tracking down monkeys....

Just listening to the back and forth banter was worth the price of admission.

Unfortunately, after not hearing an immediate response back from the cars, or some frantic radio call for backup, assumed it was a false call.

And when MY crew arrived on scene and nosed around, he had the same luck as the officers, 'nothing showing, a false call.'
