Monkey Custody Battle Over Chimp Koko Captures Courtroom
In Tampa Florida two men fought over ownership of the 3 year old chimpanzee Koko as the animal fidgeted, pounded a courtroom table, and climbed about. Vernon Meeks says he bought Koko for 600 dollars and five horses on January 26 from Ferrett and Betty Connell of Fort Myers and accuses them of stealing the chimp. Connell denies the claim and says Meeks stole Koko from Kickapoo Ranch after a sale dispute. The hearing paused as the judge noted the chimp’s restlessness and the proceedings continued at a later date.
