A large ape-like animal has been seen over the
last several days in and around Decatur. Police Chief Coy Hendrix
says he received two calls last week and another call Monday from
people reporting that they have seen the animal. The first sighting
was on Hill Street in Decatur; the second caller said the animal
was headed north toward Crystal Lake, about a quarter mile away.
Monday`s caller said the animal was on Benning Road, several miles
east of town.
An employee at the Wild Wilderness Drive-Thru Safari in Gentry
said no animal matching the description had escaped from the park.
The police chief urged anyone with information that could help
explain the mystery to call the department. Decatur is about 220
miles northwest of Little Rock.
