A Story Where You Can Almost Hear The Duelling Banjos As You Read It...

An Ohio woman was arrested after her pet raccoon was found holding a meth pipe to its mouth in her car during a routine traffic stop.

Wha..? 

Victoria Vidal, 55, was pulled over in Akron by a Springfield Township Police officer on Monday after it was determined that she had an active warrant and a suspended driver's license, according to a post from the department. Upon approaching the vehicle, an officer 'made contact with the driver,' who was then detained 'without incident,' the post stated.

Makes a nice change for them. 

'However, things took an unusual turn' when the officer returned to Vidal's car, the police department said. According to police, 'he observed a raccoon named "Chewy" sitting in the driver's seat with a meth pipe in its mouth.'

'Chewy had somehow gotten hold of a glass methamphetamine pipe, leading officers to further inspect the vehicle,' the post continued. The discovery prompted a search of the vehicle that turned up a significant quantity of meth, crack cocaine and three used glass pipes, police said.

Looks like Chewy is more rat than raccoon!
