Pet raccoon caught with meth pipe in its mouth when cops pulled over Ohio woman: 'Expect the unexpected'

During a routine traffic stop in Ohio, police officers encountered an unusual sight when a raccoon was found with a meth pipe between its teeth in the front seat of a car. This event unfolded amid the discovery of a drug stash belonging to a woman.

Officers from the Springfield Township Police stopped Victoria Vidal, 55, on Monday due to an outstanding warrant and a suspended driver’s license, leading to her arrest, as noted by the police department on Facebook. 

Upon revisiting the vehicle, an officer stumbled upon the surprising scene: a raccoon named Chewy was positioned in the front seat, holding a glass meth pipe in its mouth.

She was also handed over to Cuyahoga Falls Police on her active warrant.
