It seems that the rocket raccoon fell during a difficult time… “Instead of saving Marvel’s universe, he’s smoking in Ohio — or at least a raccoon that looks like him.
Bodycam footage from Springfield Township, Ohio, goes viral after officers said they pulled the woman and issued a warrant for their arrest.
After putting her in the cuffs, he returns to the car and finds a raccoon sitting in the front seat – his hands wrapped around a glass cylinder.
The officer claims it’s a “mespipe”…and he laughs as he watches the raccoon playing with it play.
A person standing nearby tries to take it from the small creature – she does not want him to have it, but the policeman grabs her arm and says it is proof while he tries to pull it away from the creature.
He steals one pipe…but the officer says it’s called “crunchy,” but grabs another pipe, puts it on his lips as if he’s planning on smoking, and again sends the officer hysterically.
Police said they searched the vehicle and discovered a large amount of methamphetamine, crack cocaine and three used glass metapipes.
Female police officer arrested – 55 years old Victoria Vidal – Possession of drug possession and possession of drug-related equipment is being charged.
For those worried about the chewy texture – he is unharmed… no Squirrel Peanuts situation here. Officers reach out to the appropriate authorities to determine if Victoria has the correct documents to keep him as a pet.
Hopefully they’re also working to lead him to a 12-stage program.
