An officer pulled over a woman during a traffic stop and could not keep his composure after witnessing a racoon trying to smoke from her meth pipe.
I was wondering why he was not shocked that she had a raccoon to begin with, but today I learned that the State of Ohio allows people to have pet raccoons. And while the woman did not have the proper documentation to have the paraphernalia and drugs, she did have it to prove she legally owned the trash panda.
It’s also nice to know that she cares about his health and substance abuse, but hopefully, this is a wake-up call for her.
According to CBS:
The discovery led Springfield Township Police Officer Austin Branham, who conducted the traffic stop, to search the vehicle more thoroughly. He and other officers found methamphetamine, crack cocaine and three used methamphetamine pipes elsewhere in the car, according to the Springfield Township Police Department.The vehicle was pulled over because its registered owner had an active warrant and a suspended driver’s license, the department said. Law enforcement arrested and charged the owner of the car, 55-year-old Victoria Vidal, with drug possession and three counts of drug paraphernalia and cited her for driving under suspension, the police department said. Vidal may face more charges for crack cocaine possession, depending on the outcome of lab results still to come from the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The raccoon, named Chewy, was unharmed during the incident, according to officers. It’s unclear what charges, if any, Chewy will face, but he did exercise his right to remain silent.
