preview

The man prosecutors say stole Maki the lemur from the San Francisco Zoo last year was ordered released from custody Tuesday but told to stay away from the zoo.Wearing an orange sweat suit, a blue mask strapped to his buzzed blond hair and standing straight with his hands folded behind his back, Cory McGilloway, 31, made his first court appearance in San Francisco after he was in October in Marin County.Judge Michael McNaughton ordered McGilloway to stay away from the zoo and to follow the probation terms he received late last year in Marin County as he awaits trial on second degree burglary, grand theft and vandalism charges in San Francisco.“You must stay away from the San Francisco Zoo,” McNaughton told McGilloway.“100%” McGilloway said.McGilloway had been in Marin County custody the last three months since his Oct. 15 arrest on suspicion of stealing a Marin Sanitary Service truck. He received probation on that case and was ordered to attend weekly mental health classes and take his prescribed medication, his defense attorney said.McGilloway made international headlines after allegedly stealing the endangered ring-tailed lemur on Oct. 13 from the zoo’s Lipman Family Lemur Forest habitat. Two days later, the 21-year-old primate was found wandering in a Daly City preschool, just hours before McGilloway was taken into custody.San Rafael police said after arresting McGilloway for the truck theft, they found photos of the lemur on his cell phone.
