An unusual traffic stop in Madera County 🚔. Last night (December 30, 2024), a CHP Madera officer stopped a Rolls Royce Ghost on northbound SR-99, north of Avenue 17, for excessive speed. The driver was found to be under the influence and placed under arrest for DUI, and possession of cannabis for sale. The driver was also in possession of a Spider Monkey 🐒, believed to be 1 month old. Primates are illegal to own as pets in California. The monkey was safely taken by Animal Control where he will receive the proper care. Some next level monkey business! The driver was booked at the Madera County Jail and is facing several charges, including possession of an exotic animal. @californiadfw @fresnochaffeezoo With New Years in a few hours, CHP Madera reminds everyone to celebrate 🎉 responsibly. Designate a sober driver.
