Quinn Kasbar, 19, admitted stealing the critically endangered animal from the Santa Ana Zoo. He could face one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
A Newport Beach man pleaded guilty Monday to a federal charge related to the theft of a lemur from the Santa Ana Zoo last year.
“Mr. Kasbar admitted in court today to stealing Isaac, a critically endangered ring-tailed lemur. This is a serious offense and we will continue to vigorously prosecute those who violate this law,” U.S. attorney’s office spokesman Ciaran McEvoy said Monday.Isaac, North America’s oldest lemur in captivity at age 32, was taken from the zoo after it closed July 27. Someone cut through enclosures housing lemurs and capuchin monkeys, authorities said.
In his plea agreement, Kasbar described using bolt cutters to break into the enclosures after the zoo was closed.
