00:00White Trash Alert

00:08You know what I hate?

00:11What do you hate, Dave?

00:13I hate when my monkey gets away from me when I'm in the dollar store.

00:18I hate that, too.

00:19It is the worst. They need to make dollar stores better for that.

00:21They do.

00:22They need a monkey wrangling location.

00:25Or a spot to spank that monkey.

00:27Make the aisles more monkey friendly.

00:28Make it better.

00:30Maybe a monkey cage.

00:31When we come in, we can put them in there.

00:33They'll need several, obviously.

00:35Monkey daycare or something.

00:37Yeah.

00:38That just happened to a woman in Texas.

00:42And now police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a seven-month-old monkey

00:45escaped from its owner at a Dollar General store.

00:52Someone's going to find that monkey, and they're going to keep that monkey.

00:57Seven months old.

00:58Yeah.

00:59Last seen wearing a diaper.

01:02Yeah.

01:03Did that guy see him?

01:04No.

01:05He's the news anchor there.

01:07Okay.

01:07He's the news anchor in Texas.

01:09He looks very off.

01:11But anyway, here's the story of the dollar store monkey from KLTV.com.

01:17Let's listen in.

01:19Police in Polk County Animal Control is on the lookout for an escaped capuchin monkey in Corrigan.

01:23The support animal got away from its owner at a Corrigan Dollar General store after she bought it some water.

01:28Store manager Lawrence Jolly saw the situation unfold.

01:31She came and bought the bottle.

01:34She said this is for my pet monkey.

01:37And so she go outside.

01:40She feeds the monkey.

01:43Monkey bitter took off.

01:45The name of the monkey is Boss, and he is a seven-month-old service animal currently in training.

01:50Jolly says Boss took off into the woods behind the store, still wearing a white diaper it had been given by its owner.

01:55Corrigan Mayor Jonna Gibson says the Polk County Animal Control is trying to recapture the monkey without harm.

02:01Polk County Animal Control has been looking, and there's a trap set with some bananas, a trap that will not harm the monkey.

02:08It's a live trap.

02:09So they're hoping that the bananas will lure the monkey into the cage, and they can catch it that way.

02:14It is legal to own a monkey in the state of Texas.

02:16The average range of price can be from about $4,000 to $7,000 to own one.

02:20Even so, the sight of a pet monkey escaping from its owner in a Dollar General parking lot is far from an everyday sight.

02:27I seen it, and the monkey was dying.

02:30I couldn't believe it.

02:31I didn't know it happened.

02:33Severin Lavinstein, KTRE, East Texas, News 9.

02:37All I can see is those cheetos popcorn.

02:37Now here's another look at what a capuchin monkey looks like.

02:41Now this is not an actual picture of the monkey that is lost.

02:45Mayor Gibson encourages anyone who has seen Boss the monkey, if they have any information on its whereabouts, to call Corrigan Police.

02:54I mean, I think you know what a monkey is when you see that.

02:57You have to put a picture up.

02:59This is what a monkey looks like.

03:01It's not him, though.

03:02This is not that monkey.

03:04That's not Boss.

03:05So if you see this one, let it go.

03:08That's just a different one.

03:09We're looking for one named Boss.

03:10Boss.

03:11Boss.

03:12No.

03:12But he looks similar to this picture, which is a monkey.

03:15Now I saw a monkey, but he looked just like that.

03:18Yep.

03:19Is that the one?

03:20No.

03:21Just keep moving.

03:22We repeat, this is not the picture of the missing monkey, Boss.

03:26This is just a picture of a monkey, in case you are unfamiliar what a monkey looks like.

03:32Slow it down.

03:33Let me write it down.

03:34Okay.

03:34Not this monkey.

03:37All right.

03:38Different monkey.

03:39I'll keep looking.

03:40I hope that banana trap works.

03:43We put out traps with bananas.

03:46Hi.

03:46How you doing?

03:48I put out some banana traps in hopes that we could catch the monkey, but I'm going to be

03:58honest.

03:58It's fine because it's a live trap.

04:01Oh, okay.

04:02Do you normally place food in traps?

04:05Sometimes if the food makes it to the trap.

04:07I started with six bananas.

04:12Oh.

04:12We left with one banana.

04:14Oh, goodness.

04:15Well, hopefully you leave that one in there.

04:17I did.

04:18You're with animal control then.

04:21Yeah.

04:22Do you yourself eat meat?

04:25Yes, obviously.

04:27Obviously.

04:28I do.

04:30Lots of it.

04:31Barbecue.

04:33I have never eaten monkey meat.

04:36Is it normal for service animals to bite people?

04:40Yes.

04:41Of course.

04:42Okay.

04:42They're trained.

04:43Yes.

04:43To kill.

04:44And where you are there in Texas, you can legally bring your monkey into the dollar

04:49store.

04:50You can do whatever you want with him.

04:53I had my monkey at the salon, which is why my hair had a little bit of a mishap.

04:59I see.

05:00It looks off.

05:01Yeah.

05:01I thought that's just how you did it.

05:03No.

05:03The monkey grabbed the shears and just started going haywire.

05:09Everything's fine though.

05:10Are you sure?

05:11Sure.

05:11Okay.

05:12All right.

05:13I was going for like a Miley Cyrus.

05:17Like I want to be sexy like Miley.

05:19Well, you definitely look like a wrecking ball, ma'am.

05:21That's for sure.

05:22You're shaped like one.

05:23Thanks.

05:23You're welcome.

05:24Yeah.

05:25Miley Cyrus.

05:26Johanna.

05:26Jumped on my shoulders.

05:28Ma'am, did you bring potato salad to the interview?

05:31I don't leave the house without it.

05:34She looks like she has potato salad everywhere.

05:35She does.

05:36Yeah, she does.

05:36She's always bringing it in.

05:38I think she's made of about 25% potato.

05:40I bet hers is good.

05:41Not that I would eat it, but I bet hers is good.

05:43I can catch it that way.

05:45Yeah, I bet she makes a mean potato salad.

05:46She sure does.

05:49That's the first thing I thought when I saw her.

05:51I'm like, that woman looks like she makes a really good potato salad.

05:54I bet it's real moist.

05:57Yeah.

05:57Right amount of mustard.

05:58Yeah.
