When Steven Trew learned that the Everglades Wonder Gardens would be closing soon, the Bonita Springs man "broke into the zoo" Monday, then proceeded to set many of the animals free, The Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal reported Monday. Fortunately, most of the animals remained on zoo property.
Employee Jack Wollman made the discovery Monday morning when he arrived for work. He called owner David Piper before investigating further. Upon finding Trew attempting to leave on a bike, Wollman held the suspect until Lee County Sheriff's deputies arrived.
