More felony stupid

In another AP story, this time it's a Mexican idiot with monkeys in his pants:

A man with a mysterious bulge under his tee-shirt was stopped, searched, and detained at Mexico City's international airport after authorities found eighteen tiny endangered monkeys in a girdle he was wearing.
The Public Safety Department said in a statement that 38-year-old Roberto Cabrera arrived on a commercial flight from Lima, Peru, when authorities noticed the bulge and conducted a body search. The department says Cabrera was carrying the six-inch (fifteen centimeter) titi monkeys in pouches attached to the girdle. Two of the monkeys were dead.
Arrested on charges of trafficking an endangered species, Cabrera told authorities he was carrying the monkeys in a suitcase, but decided to put them in his girdle "so the X-rays wouldn't hurt them".

Rico says it's so nice he didn't want to hurt them... (Moron.)
But Julian Miglierini has more at the BBC:

Roberto Sol Cabrera, a Mexican citizen, was stopped at a random check at Mexico City's international airport after arriving from Lima, Peru.
In a statement, police said Mr. Cabrera Zavaleta had been behaving "nervously". Once searched, it was discovered that he had hidden eighteen titi monkeys in a girdle around his waist. After his arrest, Mr. Cabrera confessed that the animals had travelled in his luggage, and that he had put them under his clothing "to protect them from X-rays" as he was going through Customs. The animals had been put into socks, police explained, and two of them were dead at the time of confiscation.
Many species of titi monkeys, a species from South America, are in an endangered animal list by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The Mexican government recently restricted imports of primates and, since Mr. Sol Cabrera did not have any permits, he will remain in custody while more investigations take place.
In a video published by the Mexican Public Security agency, Mr. Sol Cabrera says he had paid $30 for each specimen in Peru. The monkeys were later rolled up in socks and slung on a belt. According to estimates, monkeys like the ones confiscated in the airport could have been sold for between $775 and $1,550 in Mexico.
Adrian Reuter, local representative for Traffic, an international organization that monitors wildlife trade, told the BBC that animal trafficking is a serious problem in Mexico: "The reasons are two-fold: one, because Mexico is an important route for those who want to smuggle animals into the US, and the other because, as in other countries of Latin America, there is a deep-rooted tradition of having wild animals as pets," he said. The Sonora market, in the Mexican capital, is known to sell parrots, monkeys, or reptiles for private owners. Mr. Reuter recognizes that, in the last few years, the Mexican government has improved efforts on fighting animal-trafficking criminal networks, rather than focusing on the citizens who want to have "a parrot for company", he says.
