PET MONKEY DEFENDS OWNER AGAINST POLICE HARASSMENT

As officer Dudley Doorite starts to hand the driver a ticket for speeding, a monkey sudden leaps from the back seat of the car and bites the cop in the offending hand. Thus, the cop learns not to harass some poor old citizen for a silly little traffic violation.

A South Texas police officer had to deal with some unexpected monkey business as he wrote a speeding ticket.

A pet monkey bit Aransas Pass Officer Keith Moore on the hand in an attack captured on videotape.

KRIS-TV in Corpus Christi reported Thursday that Moore had a video camera on his glasses during the traffic stop.

Moore is seen handing the driver a ticket to sign when a monkey leaps from the back seat, bares its teeth and bites the officer's right hand.

Moore says the monkey "came out of nowhere" during Wednesday's incident. The bite left a mark, but the 21-year-old officer wasn't hurt otherwise.

The trained monkey makes appearances at carnivals and other entertainment events.
