CINCINNATI -- Police spent about a half an hour on Monday searching the Queensgate area for a monkey escaped from a circus train. But the whole search turned out to be a bust.
Police got a call around noon that a Ringling Brothers and Barney & Bailey Circus train passing through the Tri-State lost a monkey.
The train was stopped near Hopple Street. Police briefly searched the area for the animal.
Once they were able to talk to engineers on the train, they were told the train was not carrying monkeys - just elephants and a few other animals. Engineers said they were not aware of any missing animals from the train.
