Monkey in woman's bra makes waves at courthouse

The woman was not identified, but officials confirmed the incident — from Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephanie Maddox to deputies who were working in the courthouse.

“You couldn’t make up something like this,” Maddox said.

The woman had arrived for a hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations court, officials said.

They had no idea that she had the monkey — a female named “Kara” — until she went into an office to fill out routine, court-related paperwork.

When the woman referred to a daughter, a puzzled official asked where the daughter was. That’s when she pulled the monkey, only inches tall, out of her bra.

She referred to it as “her daughter,” said she had purchased it on eBay and that she had the creature’s clothes specially made in West Virginia.
