A mischievous monkey recently caused chaos in a Morristown, Tennessee, pawn store, leaving a big mess in its wake.

Security footage from the Trade Center captured the antics of Chester, a cinnamon capuchin monkey. Chester entered the store through a small cat door and proceeded to have a playful romp inside the store. He was seen tossing around a box and fiddling with a keyboard.

The owners said they walked into a mess and saw that a monkey was still on the loose.
