Rihanna's Instagram post with a slow loris led to the arrest of two people who allegedly peddled protected primates in Phuket, Thailand.
With a "Look who's talkin dirty to me" caption, the singer tweeted a photo of her and a slow loris Friday. As a result, a 20-year old and a 16-year old were arrested for allegedly peddling protected primates in Thailand. Weera Kerdsirimongkon, a Phuket district chief told NBC News:
"Phuket authorities were alerted to the picture (of Rihanna), and last night police arrested the two individuals who brought out the loris as a photo opportunity for tourists."
Police officials in Phuket, Thailand confiscated two lorises from the two men. The two men are now charged for possession of protected animals with penalties of up to four years in prison and fines amounting to $1300 (40,000 baht).
Rihanna was in Phuket Thailand on a break from her Diamonds World Tour.
