Monkey Business

Noah interviews Virginia State Trooper Mike Scott about a weekend assault on cars traveling down Interstate 95 by monkeys armed with pieces of fruit. Scott was hailed to the scene by a motorist who said a monkey had thrown a banana at her car. When they returned to the scene together, a trio of spider monkeys was tossing crab apples from an oak tree alongside the highway. Scott says he has no idea where they got the apples and bananas, nor where they came from.
