Dumb Criminals: Guy Attempts To Break Into Santa Ana Zoo Claiming He's Tarzan
SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) --
A man was arrested after police say he swung from trees and tried to enter a monkey exhibit at the Santa Ana Zoo, all while claiming to be "Tarzan."
Kent Yamaguchi, the zoo's director, was the one who made the bizarre 911 call on Tuesday.
"We have a gentleman who appears to be under the influence of something and is climbing in our trees and jumping into animal exhibits," Yamaguchi is heard in the 911 call recording.
"Oh, Okay, wow," the dispatcher responded.
Yamaguchi said the man, later identified by police as 37-year-old John William Rodenborn, was shirtless and climbing trees near the zoo's aviary.
"He climbed up into the tree and then proclaimed himself that he was 'Tarzan,' and that he was here just to have a good time," Yamaguchi said.
