NEW: Raccoon gets drunk at an ABC liquor store in Ashland, Virginia, and passes out in the bathroom.
Hanover County Animal Protection says the raccoon "ransacked" the store before passing out next to the toilet.
"Officer Martin safely secured our masked bandit and transported him back to the shelter to sober up before questioning," Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter said in a statement.
"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."

I thought of Eric Cartman.
The Norton part was easy. As I recall, only Trixie ever called him Ed. Except when Ralph was asked who wrote Swanee River.
Whose drunk uncle reincarnate? /s
Nobody thought to start a fire in the hearth?
smh

This fella has watched too many humans in the parking lot.
He needs racANON.
Hearing noises coming from the trash barrell at the picnic grounds,saw three raccoons drunk on beer from party leftovers.Tipped the barrell and they staggered into the woods.Long time ago.
Good thing it wasn’t “Cocaine Racoon.”
"Hi Rocky!"
Great point.
It truly could have been an Absolut mess.
From the picture it even looks like he mistook “restroom” for “prayer room”, so perhaps he was trying to take the high road after all.
Hah. I have never seen them drunk, but I did have a mom and babies knock the lid off my garbage can to get the contents. The day before we had shucked and plucked fresh peapods from the garden and they wanted them.
I thought we had burglars trying to get in.
I saw that picture it was hysterical.
What happened to Rocket?!
That wasn’t me.
This is the real problem. It committed a number of crimes and they just turned it loose before it could learn anything about consequences. Breaking and Entering, Theft, Drunk in Public, to name a few. They didn’t even tell us its Blood Alcohol Content and how many times over the “legal limit” it was.
I’ll drink to that! Bottoms up!
And I thought corgis looked adorable when they did a sploot.
100-1 odds that he broke into the tequila bottles.
