A monkey dressed in a tutu was discovered near the highway in a "bananas situation."

On Monday, Missouri sheriff's deputies encountered a "crazy scenario" as they responded to a report of someone "fooling around."

A spider monkey wearing a pink tutu was discovered by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office near Route 21 and Highway M in eastern Missouri. Spider monkeys are typically found in tropical forests of Central and South America.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office joked in a light-hearted post that first-responding units discovered the subject wearing only a tutu.

The law enforcement agency wrote that after careful negotiations, they were able to get close enough to the subject to bring the bananas situation under control without any incidents.

An exotic primate escaped from a nearby home by opening a door.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office shared images of its deputies with a black-colored monkey, including one photo where a deputy is holding hands with the animal.

This demonstrates how law enforcement officers must always be ready to handle any unexpected situations they may encounter on a call.

"The animal was surrounded by deputies and returned to its caretaker. Great job by all involved. What a day in #JeffCo."

A permit is required to own a spider monkey in Missouri.

A spider monkey in a onesie was found by police in California, and the news has emerged days later.

Last week, a 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost was stopped by a California Highway Patrol official in Madera County for speeding on Highway 99. Upon inspection, the official discovered a monkey inside the car.

In November, 43 rhesus macaque monkeys escaped a testing facility in South Carolina. Most of them were recaptured.
