DALLAS – Police arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with the disappearance of two emperor tamarin monkeys from the Dallas Zoo , authorities said Friday.
Tips from the public led investigators to Davion Irvin, who was tracked down at the Dallas Aquarium near animal exhibits on Thursday, Dallas police spokesperson Kristin Lowman said in a statement.
As officers approached Irvin, he got on to a Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) train before he was taken into custody near the 1400 block of Pacific Avenue, police said.
