AUSTERLITZ The monkey seized from a rural Columbia County residence earlier this week in a drugs and weapons raid has been turned over to a zoo.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation on Friday confirmed the handover days after State Police seized the capuchin monkey from the home on Rigor Hill Road, resulting in several drugs and weapons counts for Gary M. Wood.
Officials declined to provide additional information, including where Wood acquired the primate.
Authorities also discovered 59 firearms, including 16 assault rifles and two handguns, as well as 17.7 grams of cocaine and $3,250 in cash.
