Search crews found the body of a Metro Nashville police officer who slipped into a bitterly cold Cumberland River while trying to rescue a woman, Tennessee officials said Thursday morning. The Metro Nashville Police Department confirmed “with heavy hearts” in a tweet around 8 a.m. Thursday that a fire department diver found the body of 44-year-old Eric Mumaw. Police said Mumaw was an 18-year veteran of the department, “who gave his life this morning in service to Nashville.” Metro Nashville Police spokesman Don Aaron said during a news conference earlier Thursday that the officer was last seen alive in the river about 50 to 60 yards from a boat ramp shortly after he slipped in.
A monkey that escaped its owner's home in an Orlando suburb chewed on its neighbors' mail, pulled molding off a police car and rocked back and forth on a street sign.
Zeek was eventually caught when his owner returned home a short time later.
Sanford police officers responded to the neighborhood Monday morning after a neighbor phoned in a report that a monkey was eating mail out of a mailbox.
Zeek jumped on the officers' squad car and pulled some molding off the exterior roof.
The monkey also drank from a water bottle that the officers offered as a distraction.
Sanford police officers took video of Zeek and posted it on the agency's Facebook page.
"Zeek had a little fun with our patrol car," the officers posted about one video.
