ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The infamous star of the Emmy-nominated HBO series Chimp Crazy, Tonia Haddix, was sentenced Thursday to 46 months in prison in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri in St. Louis after pleading guilty to two felony counts of perjury and one felony count of obstructing justice.

Haddix was also sentenced to 3 years supervised release.

Haddix and her husband Jerry Aswegan are due back in state court on August 12 for ignoring orders to hand over financial records and other related documents to PETA.

Last month, authorities announced that they had discovered another chimpanzee concealed in the same basement cell where Haddix had kept the famed chimp Tonka.
