Police in Grand Junction, Colo., are seeking a man who allegedly pepper-sprayed a woman in the face and then stole her pet monkey.

The woman, who traveled from Missouri to Colorado to sell her black cap Capuchin monkey, met the suspect Monday in the parking lot of a La Quinta Inn motel with her primate in a carrier.

The man then sprayed the woman in the face, grabbed the carrier and fled the scene on foot, Kate Porras, Grand Junction Police Department information coordinator, told NBC News.

Porras said the woman had communicated with the man online, in text messages and phone calls.

The woman's injuries were not considering life-threatening, Porras said.

It is illegal to own a primate in the state of Colorado, Porras added. The woman has not been charged with a crime.

The suspect faces charges of robbery, theft and assault, Porras said.

I guess the guy went...

*puts on sunglasses*

Ape Sh*t.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

had to double take when I saw monkey and not money

@the_stegman: One might also say he went bananas.

He made a monkey outta her.

@the_stegman: He wanted to be a monkey's uncle is all.

Dude wtf not her monkey. Jeez.

@fallschirmjager: They asked the monkey if he could point the man out of a line up, but it could hear, see nor speak of the man.

Least he didn't steal my raccoon! 0.0

Too far man. Too far

@the_stegman: He was done with her and all her monkey business.

That would work if monkeys were apes.

@fallschirmjager: Well, she could have caught him if she wasn't so busy monkeying around.

@the_stegman: He just wanted to have a chimp off the old block.

@fallschirmjager: Well, maybe he was trying to help her get the monkey off her back.

@the_stegman: ...I'm out :(

you actually have a raccoon?

@fallschirmjager: Yeah, me too, lol. It was good while it lasted old chimp.

Hehe! xD No I wish though! D= Or maybe, I am a raccoon! 0.0 The world may never know! =O

@the_stegman: Maybe I'll think of some new ones off the apevine

It is secretly Drake and Josh stealing Bobo back!!!

Maybe he took the Monkey to his secret lab, to experiment on him and make him a super hero.

Just like Dexter

What they didn't tell you is how that Woman and Monkey was doing a Scheme on the Man to steal 1000.00 US dollars from him and they succeeded... all this is the Man getting them back and interrogating the Monkey to find out where the money is.

DETECTIVE CHIMP!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What an unreliable monkey.

And people are sick. On the serious side, that was probably a pretty damaging experience, causing momentary and possibly prolonged stress, due to the attack, as well as the sentimental value the monkey may have held.

Oh noes! D= I bet it was Apu! 0.0 He also steals Olive Garden breadsticks! Love apple juice! 0.0 Maybe he stole banana juice! =O

Me and my mum were walking to this temple and I was drinking from a packet of mango juice. xD

I was five and suddenly, out of nowhere, a monkey snatches the juice from my hands and runs away.

Hey! It's him. THAT'S THE MONKEY WHO STOLE MY JUICE!

@darkazrael999: Oh my! 0.0 It really did happen? =O I am sorry to hear! That actually is cool in a way you've gotten up close to a monkey though? I've only seen monkeys in zoos! =O Love orangutangs and chimpanzees! That is such an adorable story. I wonder if the monkey ever did drink the juice. XD

@darkazrael999: Then you are lucky to be alive.
