Monkey Wrench in Florida Man’s DUI Charges
A Florida man has been charged with felony drunken driving and wildlife violations, after police located a monkey in his truck. Largo Police indicate Eugene Carl Kotelman was speeding and found he was driving on a suspended license and had been charged numerous times with driving on a suspended license and DUI. Responding officers then noticed a “small monkey” in the truck and released the critter to his handler, the driver.
After Kotelman was released on bond from the DUI charge, Florida Wildlife officers charged him with possession of wildlife and two counts of violating fish and wildlife rules.
They took custody of the monkey, who later explained he was supposed to be the designated driver. Not really, but the rest of this is true.
