Remember that raccoon that raided a liquor store earlier this month and passed out in the bathroom?
Well, this raccoon decided to one-up his comrade by breaking into a Wisconsin restaurant while there were still guests there!
Diners at Grand Geneva Resort's Ristorante Brissago got a show with their meal earlier this month:
WDJT reports:
According to the Walworth County Sheriff's Office, a raccoon fell from the ceiling in the resort's fine dining restaurant and bit a guest who tried to catch it.
Deputies responded just after 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 14. They called in Town of Lyons and City of Lake Geneva firefighters to help, along with Guaranteed Gone Wildlife Control.
Once there, the deputies briefly discussed how best to handle the raccoon. One of the deputies suggested tasing it, but his idea was shot down in favor of dropping a trash can over it.
‘We cannot tase a raccoon,' another deputy is heard saying.
It's not like that raccoon was going to get out of that situation alive! The raccoon's life was forfeited as soon as the trash panda bit someone.
Matt Snorek, owner of the wildlife control company, explained:
‘If an animal doesn't bite somebody, we have other options once we get there and get the animal,' Snorek explained. ‘Once it bites somebody, there's really one option, and that's to get that animal tested as soon as possible for the transmission of rabies.'
He had to take it to a local veterinary clinic to be humanely euthanized for testing.
Let that be a lesson for all the furry bandits out there!
