Tonia Haddix

Tonia Haddix pleaded guilty in March to perjury and obstruction of justice. She was subsequently arrested last month after federal law enforcement found a secret chimpanzee on her property in Camden County, violating several terms of her bond.

Haddix was arrested July 19 after federal law enforcement found a female chimpanzee on her property in Camden County, in violation of several terms of her bond.

Law enforcement reported finding the female chimp in a cage on Tonia Haddix’s property on July 9.

St. Louis County Circuit Judge Brian May said four companies tied to Tonia Haddix and her husband, Jerry Aswegan, ignored court orders to hand over financial records and other documents to PETA.

The subject of the HBO documentary “Chimp Crazy” admitted that she lied in court proceedings about the status of a chimp named Tonka and that her lies affected a civil case against her.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture revoked Tonia Haddix’s license to keep and sell exotic animals, after the Missouri woman lied to a judge about a chimpanzee she claimed had died.

“Tonia Haddix has violated numerous orders of this Court and seeks to make a mockery of the rule of law by admitting and boasting on television, on the internet, and on other means of public communications, about her violations of the Court’s orders,” U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry wrote.

From the documentation shown in the HBO docuseries, PETA is pushing for Tonia Haddix and her conspirators to be charged with perjury and obstruction of justice — and for her Animal Welfare Act license to be revoked.
