(ASHLAND, VA) — The masked bandit broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday (Nov. 29th) and hit the bottom shelf, where the scotch and whisky were stored. 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.
An employee at the Ashland, Virginia-area Alcohol Beverage Control store found the wasted furry suspect passed out on the bathroom floor , face down, at the end of his drunken escapade.
Samantha Martin, a local animal control officer said, “He fell through one of the ceiling tiles and went on a full-blown rampage, drinking everything.” Martin took the raccoon back to the animal shelter, thinking some might call him their “spirit animal”.
