Viral drunk raccoon is a serial break-in artist whos struck at least three buildings and is still kicking

This party animal won’t quit!The drunk raccoon that went viral for guzzling whiskey then passing out by a toilet at a Virginia liquor store is a serial offender who has broken into at least three buildings — and lived to tell the tail, er, tale.The half-cocked critter, who tickled America’s funny bone last week, has long been ransacking other businesses near the Ashland store in search of goodies, according to the cop who nabbed him.“This is not the first time he’s been in one of the buildings,”  Animal Protection Officer Samantha Martin said Thursday.“This is the third break-in he’s had.He was in the karate studio — I think he got into the DMV [and] ate some of their snacks one time,” Martin said on the podcast Hear In Hanover.The drunk-as-a-skunk furball spent the night sobering up and was released near the Ashland ABC Store, where he left a trail of broken whiskey and gin bottles on Black Friday.“We don’t relocate him, because that’s a death sentence for raccoons,” Martin said.

“But somehow he knows how to get back in this building.He’s a smart little critter!”The four-legged boozehound went viral last week, inspiring t-shirts, coffee mugs — and even signature cocktails such as the “Trash Panda Old Fashioned” and the “Midnight Masked Gin Fizz.”Ultimately, Martin hopes it will be the blotto bandit’s last burglary.“I hope he learned his lesson,” she said.

“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.”...
