Pity this poor raccoon, which, @AssociatedPress reports, went on a drunken rampage in a Virginia liquor store and was found next morning, passed out on the bathroom floor. Whomst among us, etc.
On Saturday morning, an employee at the Ashland, Virginia liquor store found the trash panda passed out on the bathroom floor at the end of his drunken escapade.
“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 & 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 & Shelter commended Martin for handling the break-in, & confirmed the raccoon had sobered up.

#Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store & passes out on bathroom floor
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday & hit the bottom shelf, where the scotch & whisky were stored. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile collapsed & alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he’s a raccoon.

"🚨 Black Friday Break-In at Ashland ABC Store 🚨
Suspect Apprehended After Liquor-Fueled Rampage
On Saturday morning, Officer Martin responded to an unusual call at the Ashland ABC Store. Upon arrival, she discovered the “suspect” had broken in, ransacked several shelves, and then… passed out in the bathroom.
The suspect?
A very intoxicated raccoon. 🦝🥃
Officer Martin safely secured our masked bandit and transported him back to the shelter to sober up before questioning. 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.
A big shout-out to Officer Martin for handling this chaotic scene with professionalism and good humor. Just another day in the life at Hanover Animal Protection!"
