Sadly owning wild animals in the US is not only legal - it's fairly easy as well. You have to apply for a special permit but you don't need any experience with the species animals to get one and there are no checks once you have it. You can buy baby primates a big cats on the internet for not a lot of money.
The awful thing is that this was an adult male that had already gone crazy when it escaped from the owners car. (WHY was it in her car?! What if it had attacked her whilst she was driving?) It ran around the town terrorising people and trying to attack them. The authorities did nothing about it and let the owner take him home again. The owner decided it was fine and she could control him if he went mad again. Obviously she couldn't.
You will never be able to completely tame a wild animal and this is proof of it.
