Quick Read
A raccoon that passed out drunk after running amok in a Virginia liquor store is suspected of two other “break-ins”.
Images of smashed bottles and the animal splayed out next to the toilet went viral last week — but the woman who found him has revealed the raccoon has form. “This is not the first time he’s been in one of the buildings. This is the third break-in he’s had,” said animal protection officer Samantha Martin.
