Woman arrested for taking raccoon into a bar, officials say

MADDOCK, N.D. (KVLY/Gray News) – A woman was arrested after walking into a bar in North Dakota carrying a raccoon, according to the Benson County Sheriff’s Office.

Rabies is hardly the only danger in raccoons. They also harbor a roundworm:

They also can host fleas. My SM had them in her house due to raccoons in the rafters. Both were eventually dispatched through an exterminator.
As if this weren't enough, the woman in the story has started a *** to cover her legal bills:

There is a joke in this saga somewhere but the spector of rabies & fleas & roundworms has killed my sense of humor. So a rabbi, a priest & a raccoon walk into a bar....
