A raccoon got a taste for trouble, and alcohol, after breaking into an ABC store in Ashland, Virginia, over the weekend, ransacking shelves and then passing out in the bathroom.

An officer from Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter responded to the store Saturday morning for a report of an unusual break-in. When Officer Martin arrived, she found shelves ransacked and bottles broken on the ground.

The “suspect” was discovered passed out on the floor of the bathroom, and was identified as an intoxicated raccoon, according to the shelter.
