Chewy the Raccoon — The Meth Pipe Rodent

Victoria Vidal was pulled over in Springfield Township, Ohio, for driving with a suspended licence. When officers approached the vehicle, they found something they’d never seen before: a pet raccoon named Chewy sitting in the driver’s seat with a glass meth pipe in his mouth.
