"The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf, where the scotch and whisky were stored. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile collapsed and alcohol pooled on the floor. The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon. On Saturday morning, an employee at the Ashland, Virginia-area liquor store found the trash panda passed out on the bathroom floor."
"I personally like raccoons, said Samantha Martin, an officer who works at the local animal control. They are funny little critters. He fell through one of the ceiling tiles and went on a full-blown rampage, drinking everything. Martin said she took the raccoon back to the animal shelter, though she had her fair share of giggles along the way. Another day in the life of an animal control officer, I guess, she said."
"The Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter commended Martin for handling the break-in, and confirmed the raccoon had sobered up. After a few hours of sleep and zero signs of injury (other than maybe a hangover and poor life choices), he was safely released back to the wild, hopefully having learned that breaking and entering is not the answer, the agency said."
A raccoon entered a closed Virginia liquor store and targeted the bottom shelf holding scotch and whisky. Bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile collapsed and alcohol pooled on the floor. The animal fell through a ceiling tile and consumed multiple alcoholic beverages, then passed out in the store's bathroom. An animal control officer retrieved the intoxicated raccoon and took it to the shelter. The shelter confirmed the animal sobered up and, after several hours and no apparent injuries beyond a likely hangover, released the raccoon back to the wild.
