woman found in zoo pen after a night out drinking
woman in zoo pen
A woman who police say was in an extreme state of intoxication managed to gain access to the penned off area at the Denver Zoo containing the elephants. The intruder received an electrical shock after bumping into a security fence according to zoo officials. According to local news media, the incident happened during the Zoo’s holiday light display called Zoo Lights which is held nightly around 9 o’clock in the evening. Luckily, there were no elephants present in the pen when the inebriated woman wandered in and she was escorted from the property in order to be transported to the local emergency room to receive medical attention.
Both Zoo officials and local police officers have been canvassing other Zoo guests to see if they can determine exactly how the woman was able to gain access to the elephant pen without being stopped. The as yet unidentified woman was treated at the scene by members of Denver’s emergency fire unit and her injuries after encountering the electrical fence were judged to be minor. Police officials were careful to emphasize that the woman was in no way electrocuted but did experience slight injury when she sat down next to the charged fence.
