An Ohio traffic stop took a bizarre turn when police discovered a pet raccoon holding a meth pipe in the driver’s seat. Officer Austin Branham pulled over Victoria Vidal, 55, in Springfield Township on May 5th. After arresting her for driving with a suspended license and an outstanding warrant, he returned to the car to find the raccoon, named Chewy, gripping a glass pipe in its mouth.
According to WKYC, a search of the vehicle uncovered meth, crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia. Vidal faces multiple charges and was handed over to another department due to her warrant.
Police did confirm that Chewy was a pet raccoon after Vidal showed she had the appropriate paperwork and documentation to own him.
