Murray Police Department
Man Arrested for Releasing Raccoon Into Kentucky Business
In Murray, Kentucky, a man is facing charges after he intentionally released a raccoon into an open business — and yes, someone got bit.
According to police, the animal was let loose inside while people were present. The raccoon reportedly bit at least one person, creating an obvious health risk and a whole lot of chaos.
The suspect was later arrested and charged with multiple offenses. Authorities didn’t say what motivated the release, but unless he was trying to start a live-action reboot of Over the Hedge, there’s really no good reason.
Animal control was called in to handle the situation. No word on the raccoon’s status.
