Intoxicated Raccoon Found Unconscious in Virginia Liquor Store

An employee at a liquor store in Ashland, Virginia, discovered an unusual customer on Saturday: a raccoon unconscious on the bathroom floor. The animal, commonly called a "trash panda," appeared to have consumed alcohol. Evidence suggested the raccoon had accessed and opened several bottles within the store before its escapade ended. Store staff contacted local animal control officers. The raccoon was safely removed from the premises. Authorities remind the public that alcohol is dangerous to wildlife. They advise securing trash and other potential food or drink sources to prevent similar incidents.
