Deputies in Missouri responding to "bananas situation" find monkey in a pink tutu

Deputies responding to reports of a subject monkeying around found an actual monkey near a Missouri highway on Friday afternoon, officials said

The spider monkey, wearing what the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office described as a tutu, was found around 4 p.m. It had been staying at a nearby home and got outside after managing to open a door. 

"After careful negotiations and some coaxing, deputies were able to get close enough to go 'hands on' with the subject and bring this bananas situation under control without incident," the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post.
