Man Arrested For Releasing Raccoon In Open Business

Jonathan Mason, 40, was already banned from the Big Apple Grill and Bar in Murray, Kentucky.

On Friday, police say he sneaked in anyway, set a live raccoon loose, and left. The animal bit a patron, and officers soon stopped Mason’s car. He refused to roll down the window, so they pulled him out and arrested him.

Mason now faces charges that include second-degree assault, trespassing, resisting arrest, and driving without insurance.

Police note it wasn’t his first…unusual…offense; Mason was also arrested last year after showing up drunk on a mule at a liquor store.
