Target: Summit County Prosecuting Attorney
Goal: Ensure maximum penalties for driver who allegedly let a raccoon clutch a meth pipe amid narcotics.
During a routine traffic stop, officers reportedly discovered a pet raccoon named Chewy sitting in the driver’s seat with a glass methamphetamine pipe between its paws. A deeper search allegedly uncovered meth, crack cocaine, and multiple used pipes scattered through the vehicle.
The driver—already suspected of driving while suspended—was arrested after officers allegedly found the stash, leaving Chewy to face toxic drug residue and potential long-term health risks. Authorities also noted that keeping a raccoon as a pet requires special permits; it remains unclear whether the owner possessed any.
Exposing a wild animal to dangerous narcotics is a form of cruelty that demands strong legal action. Anything less risks normalizing the mistreatment of wildlife and could encourage others to ignore strict regulations designed to safeguard both animals and the public. The alleged offender must face the highest possible penalties, and Chewy must receive permanent placement in a licensed wildlife facility.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Summit County Prosecuting Attorney,
According to police reports, a routine traffic stop revealed a shocking sight: a raccoon purportedly clutching a glass meth pipe while perched in the driver’s seat. Further search allegedly uncovered methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and three additional pipes.
This wild animal was reportedly subjected to toxic drug residue and placed in immediate danger. In addition, state regulations require strict permitting to keep raccoons; the driver’s compliance with those rules has not been confirmed. Such disregard for an animal’s welfare, combined with alleged narcotics offenses, merits serious legal consequences.
We respectfully urge your office to pursue the maximum penalties allowed by law, including any applicable wildlife-related charges, and to ensure Chewy is transferred to a reputable, licensed sanctuary. A decisive response will underline that exposing animals to addictive substances is unacceptable and will be met with full prosecutorial force.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here
