In 2002, way before the Monkey became Sheriff MonkeyBlues, a law was passed against that in Ballard County.
Cory would have gotten a ticket for DWP (Driving While Partying) and faced a stiff fine, or traffic school.
But the law was clearly unfair to Monkeys….
They always look like they’re partying… chattering away, and driving with all four hands….
well, feet and hands…. and with their prehensile tails, if they have ’em.
Monkeys were often profiled, and hassled, and having to prove that any silly hats they were wearing were just, you know… hats… and not party hats.
At the urging of the Sheriff, in 2013 the Ballard County Supervisors rescinded the ordinance….
Now you can party like it’s 2001…. but don’t get carried away….
drug, alcohol, and cell phone use are still prohibited while driving.
