Ohio police chase man in gorilla suit on ATV

WADSWORTH, Ohio It seems the 24-year-old got the idea from a reality TV show. The guy said it was just a prank, but authorities are taking it pretty seriously.

The stunt could cost him $1,000 and six months in jail.

The "ape man" had been terrorizing the area for weeks. He'd ride through the town in the middle of the night while friends taped him.

Another time, frightened residents spotted him running through a field.
