3 Dec, 2025
Summary
- A raccoon broke into a Virginia liquor store on Black Friday.
- The animal sampled multiple liquors from broken bottles.
- It was found passed out in the bathroom and later released.
An unusual incident unfolded at a Virginia ABC store on Black Friday when a raccoon gained entry and caused considerable disarray. The nocturnal visitor, driven by an apparent taste for spirits, sampled several different liquors from shattered bottles, leading to a drunken stupor.
The raccoon's adventurous night took a turn when an animal control officer arrived at the scene. The officer discovered the intoxicated animal sleeping off its boozy escapade in the store's bathroom. Following its 'capture,' the masked bandit was transported to the shelter for a period of sobering up.
Officials reported that the raccoon sustained no injuries, aside from potentially suffering from a hangover and regretful decisions. After a night of detoxification, the animal was deemed fit for release and was returned to its natural habitat, the incident concluding without further incident.
