Monkey captured after Mississippi truck crash
After a truck accident released monkeys in Mississippi, a resident encountered one on her property in Heidelberg and took necessary action to protect her family. Jessica Bond Ferguson, a mother of five, recounted how she shot and killed the monkey after her son spotted it. The Jasper County Sheriff's Office confirmed the incident but did not provide further details. The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks took control of the monkey. The truck accident had occurred on Interstate 59, resulting in the release of monkeys, of which three were still missing. Initially believed to be infectious, the monkeys were later reported as not presenting a danger, but they still needed to be dealt with due to their aggressive behavior.
