This. Friggin. Rules.
It’s also probably the reason why I’ve never been able to procure a helper monkey, which was a long-time dream of mine to the point that I made preliminary arrangements to do so when I lived down in Townsend’s Inlet.
HANOVER TWP. – A man accused of driving a stolen all-terrain vehicle with an exotic animal in March waived his right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Joseph Halesey on Tuesday.
Jeffrey Arnott Jr., 24, of Preston Street, Ashley, waived charges of receiving stolen property and flight to avoid apprehension to Luzerne County Court.
Ashley police withdrew three counts of disorderly conduct, two counts of resisting arrest, and one count each of harassment and public drunkenness against Arnott Jr.
Police allege Arnott was driving a stolen ATV with a Java Macaque monkey named Tyler on the back in the Carey’s Patch section of the borough on March 19.
Arnott abandoned the ATV and ran into woods near the Huber Breaker. The monkey ran off in another direction and was captured by its owner, Jeffrey Arnott Sr. (H/T @dannybauder)
