Man dragging roadkill raccoon shot by bad Samaritan who thought it was an abused dog
Police in Washington state want to find a driver who shot a man Sunday, apparently under the mistaken belief he was abusing a dog. The victim was in fact dragging a dead raccoon down the highway.
He's seen here in a video taken by another motorist who had similar concerns, but the wherewithal to ask questions first.
The man intended to use the already-dead raccoon as bait in his crab pot, the Mason County Sheriffs Office said, but a confrontation over it quickly got out of hand and police say the suspect ran the man over and shot him in the leg.
Surveillance video captured the truck, which is a Ford extended cab built between 1992 and 1997 with a dark colored canopy. There was a white dog in the cab. ...
A 911 call obtained by KCPQ describes the scene of the shooting.
Hes aiming a gun at the guy dragging the raccoon, the caller reported. Now the guys swinging the raccoon around.
The universe has cheated us of footage of a half-naked man using a roadkill raccoon as an enormous flail.
Previous Raccoons: Rabid Raccoon. Robber Raccoon.
