information from the Burien Police Dept.
This morning a reckless driver sped by a State Trooper on SR 509 who clocked his speed on radar at 112 MPH. The driver exited at So. 128 and lost control, striking a large rock in someone’s yard. According to witnesses, he then jumped from his car and began to run away, before returning to his car to retrieve something…his pet monkey!
Burien officers found him and his partner- in-crime nearby and placed them both into custody for leaving the scene of an accident. Once we determined the monkey was not the driver, we released him to a family member since he was only engaged in monkey business.
