The man accused of stealing the lemur could spend up to a year in jail, federal prosecutors said Monday.
A man was arraigned Monday for allegedly stealing a lemur from the San Francisco Zoo last year. He was arrested in October following the animal’s discovery by a 5-year-old boy, whose school alerted authorities. According to federal prosecutors, Cory John McGilloway, 31, of Los Angeles, is accused of taking the 21-year-old ring-railed lemur named Maki from the zoo’s enclosure on Oct. 13. McGilloway, who appeared via video link at a hearing at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California from a Los Angeles Jail on Monday, was charged with violating the Endangered Species Act. He could face as much as $50,000 in fines and up to one year in prison if convicted of the federal misdemeanor count.More Related News
