Owner throws a monkey wrench

The Brooklyn owner of an attack macaque won't tell city officials where his illegal pet monkey is hiding out, an animal rescue activist said yesterday.
Robin Schulder of the citywide nonprofit Animal Rescue Unit said monkey owner Steven Seidler told her yesterday he won't comply with today's city-imposed deadline to get rid of Darla, who bit a 2-year-old boy last week.

"He's going to fight this all the way," Schulder said.

"But if it turns out he can't keep the monkey, he's agreed to give it to me and I'll take it up to a sanctuary upstate," said Schulder, who added that she considers Darla gentle enough to be around her 3-year-old son.

But don't tell that to another bite victim who came forward yesterday.

"It was terrifying. My heart was coming out through my chest," said Miriam Benado, who said she was bitten in the calf July 14 by Darla.

Benado is the fourth person who claims to have been bitten by Darla in the past two years.

Benado said she was at Seidler's Mill Basin home tomake sure the self-professed disabled man was getting his taxpayer-funded housecleaning services three times a week.

"The monkey was dressed in Pampers eating a lollipop. I was sitting there writing my report when the monkey crept up and grabbed my leg. I panicked, backed up and the monkey bit me in the leg, then attacked my other leg," said Benado, who works for BHRAGS Housekeeping in Brooklyn.

The service no longer sends cleaners to Seidler's home.

Seidler has said he needs Darla to do simple household chores.

Seidler, a former cop and ex-con, told a health inspector over the weekend that he had already sent the monkey out of state. But he refused to let the agent into his home, saying as an Orthodox Jew he was observing the Sabbath, health officials said.

Seidler tooled around the neighborhood in his motorized wheelchair yesterday to walk his pet pit bull, but he refused to answer questions and hid his face from photographers beneath a gray hooded sweatshirt.

The ex-cop/ex-con owner of an "attack monkey" who bit a child has a past marked by allegations that his toddler daughter ingested drugs and that he possessed an arsenal of weapons, according to law-enforcement sources and court documents.

The new details about Steve Seidler — who did nine years for dealing cocaine — come one day after The Post reported that authorities are investigating whether he faked his "disabilities." His condition allows him to keep Darla the macaque monkey as a "service animal" and collect a $1,668.78-a- month police pension.

Seidler joined the NYPD in 1981 and left two years later, claiming a finger injury.

In December 1987, Seidler's then-wife, Victoria, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment after their 2-year-old daughter, Stephanie, was taken to a hospital with cocaine and heroin in her system, sources told The Post. Victoria pleaded guilty in October 1988 to the first charge and was sentenced to three years probation.

In May 1988, Steve Seidler was arrested by the feds on charges of selling at least at least a "kilogram of cocaine a month" between 1983 and 1987, according to documents obtained by The Post.

He was busted as he drove in Brooklyn with his father-in-law and little Stephanie. The feds say he was wearing a shoulder holster with a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol inside. He also was carrying spare magazines, court records show.

Then, when agents searched Seidler's home in Mill Basin, Brooklyn, they found a fully loaded 12-guage shotgun; a fully loaded Uzi; and three fully loaded .38-caliber handguns containing six hollow-point rounds.

Agents also found a "point-blank" bulletproof vest, a stun gun, boxes of ammunition, various knives, blackjacks and billy clubs, a money counting machine and two triple-beam scales with cocaine residue on them, the records show.

In 1990, Seidler agreed to a plea deal, admitting to a single count of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison with five years of probation.

He was released in 1999, and his probation ends this November.

In trans of his grand jury indictment and sentencing hearing, Drug Enforcement Administration agents referred to Seidler doing business with Colombian drug suppliers.

Seidler was never charged with weapons possession, because as a former cop he was entitled to legal permits for all the firearms.

In the court papers, Seidler admits to having been a heroin addict, saying that after he injured his hand in 1983 he was given a preion painkiller called Dilaudid — which later led him to the harder, illegal stuff.

He said that he became so addicted to heroin that eventually he was using $500 worth of smack a day.

The documents also show that while Seidler told prosecutors that he suffered from endocarditis — an inflammation of the heart lining, which causes blood circulation problems — his doctor could not verify that claim.

Seidler and his wife were divorced in the early '90s, and she has custody of Stephanie.

Meanwhile, the Health Department is still waiting for details on Darla's whereabouts.

When a member of its Veterinary Unit showed up at his door on Saturday, Seidler, who said he's an Orthodox Jew, refused to let them in because it was the Sabbath.

He told them he had sent the monkey out of state.

They told him he must come up with documentation from whatever veterinarian is now attending to Darla to prove she is healthy and being taken care of in a safe environment.

There was no sign of Darla at his house yesterday.
