Police arrest monkey owner

By the Press-Citizen

Johnson County SheriffÂ’s deputies arrested a Shueyville woman Wednesday
afternoon after
she allegedly refused to surrender a monkey that bit a telephone worker
Monday at her
residence.

Sue Kriz is charged with interference with official acts, a simple
misdemeanor.

Johnson County authorities sought and received court permission Tuesday to
seize a
Capuchin monkey from a KrizÂ’ home after the primate bit a South Slope
Cooperative
Communications Co. worker. Assistant Johnson County Attorney Anne Lahey went
to court
seeking a judge's order to seize any monkey or monkeys on the property
....confine them
for a period of fourteen days, and perform any tests as directed by the Iowa
Department
of Public Health.

Lahey said rabies tests will be performed on the monkey. She said the monkey
will likely
be returned to Kriz if the monkey tests negative for rabies.

Lahey said this is not the first time Johnson County authorities have seized
animal from
Kriz. In 1995, authorities seized 52 monkeys from her home because they lived
in poor
conditions. Those monkeys were later placed with zoos and sanctuaries.
