A routine traffic stop took an unusual turn when a California Highway Patrol official stopped a Rolls-Royce in Madera County on Monday.

Officials pulled the 2022 Rolls-Royce Ghost over for excessive speeding on Highway 99 but were surprised when they found a Spider Monkey in the car.

CHP noted that finding the exotic animal in an exotic car made it especially bizarre “a traffic stop with a twist.”
