Monkey on the loose in Indianapolis seen drinking beer



A monkey named Momo is on the loose in Indianapolis -- and one neighbor reported seeing the simian sipping a beer.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said Momo escaped from his owner's home in the Ironridge Court area of the city's east side on Wednesday and was subsequently spotted the Gate Drive neighborhood, about a quarter mile away.


Police said they were unable to confirm whether Momo has bitten anyone while on the loose.

At least one neighbor reported to police that Momo was seen drinking a beer out of a garbage can.

Momo's owner previously reported the monkey missing in a July Facebook post, but the post was later updated to say he was home safe.

Indianapolis code allows for the ownership of "wild or dangerous" animals, but requires them to be registered with the animal care services.

Momo the escaped monkey was captured in Indianapolis and transported to a local zoo to be examined by a veterinarian.

The Indianapolis Metro Police Department said Momo, a patas monkey, escaped from his home in the east side of the city Wednesday afternoon.


Lt. William Carter told a news conference that a 911 caller Thursday morning reported a monkey was trying to gain entry into her home, but Momo fled into the nearby woods once officers arrived.

The monkey was later tracked to an abandoned house, where police were able to shut Momo into a bathroom.

The brother of Momo's owner responded to the scene to help calm Momo and turn him over to animal care services.

Momo was taken to the Indianapolis Zoo for evaluation by a veterinary team.

Police said Momo's owner was being cited for the monkey chasing people out on the street in a menacing fashion. Carter said police have not found any evidence of the monkey biting or otherwise injuring anyone.

It was unclear whether Momo, who previously escaped his home for a short time in July, would be returned to his owner.


Monkeys are legal to keep as pets in the city.
