Raccoon causes chaos in liquor store before passing out drunk

In Ashland, Virginia, a mischievous raccoon caused chaos in a local liquor store by drinking bottles of alcohol before collapsing near the restroom, yet managed to avoid any legal consequences. The furry intruder made its way into the store on the morning of November 29, targeting shelves stocked with scotch and whiskey.

Staff discovered the inebriated raccoon lying on the bathroom floor after it had tumbled through a ceiling tile and unleashed havoc across the store. It went on a full-blown spree, consuming everything in sight, said Samantha Martin from the local animal control office. I find raccoons amusing little creatures.

Martin safely transported the tipsy raccoon to the animal shelter, sharing laughs over the unusual incident. Just another typical day in animal control, she remarked.

The Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter praised Martin's handling of the situation and confirmed that the raccoon had recovered from its intoxicated state. After some rest and with no serious injuriesaside from perhaps a minor hangoverthe raccoon was released back into the wild, hopefully wiser about the consequences of breaking and entering, the agency stated.
