Star Community Newspapers (http://www.planostar.com/articles/2007/03/27/plano_star-courier/news/00000001news.txt): "A Plano resident allegedly sent his male monkey a sexually explicit audio tape while the animal was in custody at the Living Materials Center (LMC), according to LMC staff.
Darwin, a Rhesus Macaque Monkey, was confiscated by animal services on Feb. 21 after police found illegal animals in owner Bobby Denton Crawford Jr.’s home.
Darwin was released back to Crawford Friday afternoon after being transported from the LMC, where the monkey stayed the past month.
Sherry Smith, a spokesperson for Plano Animal Services, said Darwin was given back to Crawford because he agreed to move out of the city.
“Where he is going to be moving, they don’t prohibit them there,” Smith said. “He is complying with city ordinances by removing Darwin from the city.”
Smith declined to comment on where Crawford had moved to. Crawford made at least three visits to the LMC and a handful of tear-filled phone calls requesting Darwin be returned to his custody, according to Jim Dunlap, curator at the LMC.
On one such visit, Dunlap said Crawford handed him a box of Darwin’s toys. Among those toys was an audio tape player with a recorded message from Crawford addressed to Darwin that was of a sexual nature, Dunlap said.
After listening to the tape, Dunlap said Crawford made reference" http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=cVQcRDUa</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=cVQcRDUa) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=yLbcY3iV</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=yLbcY3iV) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=cup3Qmk6</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=cup3Qmk6) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=IrScmxlv</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=IrScmxlv)
