A Middle River man faces animal cruelty charges for illegally possessing and mistreating an infant monkey and lemur.
Baltimore County Police began investigating Jayden Quanez Evans, 25, in June after noticing him and others posing with the primates on Facebook.
Investigators found that Evans owned an online-based company called Tarzan Exoticz, which sold personalized photo shoots with the animals.
It turns out Evans and a Baltimore-based photographer named Vernon Edward Crowfey III, who owns Photogeniks Vee, traveled to North Carolina, where they claimed to have rented the primates from a dealer out of Florida, under the false premise they were getting a license for "scientific, educational, or commercial purposes."
