    The source the sheriff’s office used is the truck driver.

    The university said they do have some monkeys that are infectious, but none were on this semi trailer.

    Sheriff’s office didn’t think maybe they should corroborate the truck driver’s story before telling the news there was aggressive infectious monkeys running around.

      “That driver there? That’s ol’ Hank. We told ‘em them monkeys had 5G COVID on the account of so he won’t try to have his way with one of ‘em. This is Mississippi after all…”

      I would definitely bet the driver didn’t say anything like that and the cops just called in whatever they thought they needed to say to get to shoot monkeys.
