"A picture from the shelter shows the damage done to the store, while another picture shows the critter sound asleep on its belly, inches away from the toilet. 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, the shelter wrote on Facebook."
"The new town drunk was heavily featured on local TV, with ABC 8 in Richmond doing a Crime Alert segment on the break-in. Co-anchor Eric Philips called it one of the wildest stories the station had ever covered, before he and co-anchor Heather Hope read some of the reactions from viewers to ABC 8's story on its website. The bottom shelf stuff will get you like that, one viewer posted, along with the crying face emoji."
Employees at an Ashland, Virginia ABC Store returned after Thanksgiving to find more than two dozen bottles smashed and puddles of alcohol among shards of glass. A passed-out black raccoon was discovered in the store bathroom and was described as very intoxicated by Hanover County Animal Protection and Shelter, whose officer responded. Shelter photos showed store damage and the raccoon asleep on its belly near the toilet. After several hours with no visible injuries, the raccoon was safely released back to the wild. Local TV covered the break-in and viewers responded with humorous comments comparing the raccoon to human drunkenness.
