Raccoon Caught After Alcohol-Fueled Bender at Liquor Store Revealed to Have a Rap Sheet Including 2 Other Break-Ins By Charna Flam

The raccoon that went viral for a drunken break-in is a repeat offender! 

On Nov. 29, a raccoon broke into a Virginia liquor store, ransacked the shelves and passed out in the bathroom following a “liquor-fueled rampage,” Hanover County Animal Protection (HCAP) said on Dec. 2.

Over a week later, on Thursday, Dec. 11, Animal Protection Officer Samantha Martin revealed this wasn’t the raccoon’s first criminal offense. 

“This is not the first time he’s been in one of the buildings,” Martin, the officer who got hold of him, said on the Hear In Hanover podcast.

“This is the third break-in he’s had,” she said, before listing off his previous break-ins, which include a karate studio and the DMV, the latter of which, he “ate some of their snacks.”

She noted that the department didn’t “relocate” him, “because that’s a death sentence for raccoons.” However, the “smart little critter” has managed to get back in the same building.

“I hope he learned his lesson,” she joked. “But I just say, ‘Enjoy your life.’ I think he’s living his best life — and why not? Have a drink or two, especially on Black Friday.”

Martin’s reveal of the raccoon’s criminal history comes after the sneaky animal caused a stir on the internet. 

On Nov. 29, Martin found that a raccoon had broken into the building and pulled numerous bottles of liquor off the shelves. The raccoon was “very intoxicated” when it was discovered lying face down in the Ashland ABC Store liquor store’s bathroom, per the HCAP statement.

Photos show the aisles of the store are littered with broken bottles of gin and whiskey, among other spirits, on the floor. Another photo depicts the raccoon lying face down, limbs splayed, next to a toilet.
