Lemur Surprises Trooper During I-4 Stop in Sanford
A lemur named Mike leaped from a trailer being pulled by a pickup after a driver was stopped for erratic driving on Interstate 4 in Sanford. Dashcam captured the lemur circling the trooper as wildlife officers seized the animal along with a tortoise goat parrot and a wallaby. The driver Shane Taylor 27 was arrested on multiple charges including DUI and was said to have a warning that the lemur bites. Jail records show no listed attorney for Taylor.
