A Lady’s Meth-Smoking Raccoon Got Her Busted for Drugs

When cops have to confirm someone’s arrest report isn’t a joke, you know it’s gonna be a good one . . .

55-year-old Victoria Vidal got pulled over near Akron, Ohio on Monday for an outstanding warrant.  She was also driving on a suspended license.  But none of that matters.

It’s in the news because one of the passengers in her car was a pet RACCOON.  (???)  And she got busted for drugs after the raccoon pulled out a METH PIPE and tried to SMOKE it.

The cop couldn’t stop laughing, and his chest cam got it all on video.  He was arresting Victoria when he looked back at the car and saw the raccoon . . . named Chewy . . . sitting in the driver’s seat, holding the pipe up to its mouth.  Here’s the video.

One report said the cop took the first meth pipe away . . . so Chewy grabbed a SECOND pipe and tried to smoke THAT ONE instead.  It’s hard to tell from the video if that’s really true or not, but maybe.

Victoria might have just been in trouble for the warrant.  But police said seeing the raccoon with the pipe led them to “further inspect the vehicle.”

They ended up finding three pipes, a small amount of crack, and seven grams of meth.  So she’s facing charges for felony drug possession.

Chewy is fine, by the way.  Police said they were checking to see if Victoria had the proper permits to legally own a raccoon.

Here’s a photo of Chewy, and one of Victoria.  Before the footage was released, a reporter for Cleveland.com reached out to the cops to confirm the story wasn’t a hoax.  They said, “It is definitely real.”
