A 300-pound chimpanzee that broke free from its chains has been captured after briefly wandering around a Kansas City, Missouri, neighborhood and smashing out the window of a police car. Police got a call about noon yesterday that a primate was on the loose a few miles from the Kansas City Zoo. Police said the ape was actually a pet that escaped from its chains. When efforts to shoot the animal, named Sueko, with a tranquilizer dart failed, the chimp climbed on a patrol car and struck the passenger-side window with its fist before running off. Sueko’s owner was eventually able to coax it into a cage. The owner was cited for having a dangerous animal within city limits.
