Raccoon gets drunk at Ashland ABC store and passes out in bathroom

https://www.axios.com/local/richmond/2025/12/02/drunk-raccoon-virginia-abc-store-break-in

A masked bandit terrorized an Ashland ABC store over the weekend, smashing multiple bottles of bourbon before passing out drunk on the bathroom floor.

Why it matters: The intoxicated suspect was a raccoon.

The big picture: An officer with Hanover County Animal Protection found the ransacker splooted out next to the toilet on Saturday morning, according to the agency's Facebook post.

The officer then transported the trash panda — likely still too inebriated to plot an escape — to the shelter "to sober up before questioning," per the post.
