This was a first for an Ohio police department: An officer found a raccoon with a methamphetamine pipe in its mouth.

Police in Springfield Township, Ohio, were conducting a traffic stop when they discovered a pet raccoon holding a meth pipe in the front seat of a car.

A pet raccoon named Chewy was in the driver's seat of a car in central Ohio earlier this week, holding a glass meth pipe in its mouth, according to police.

Police pulled over a car because its owner had an active warrant. After arresting the driver, a raccoon popped up with a meth pipe. The discovery led to the recovery of bulk drugs in the vehicle.

Police in Ohio had an interesting encounter Monday after a pet raccoon was found with a meth pipe during a traffic stop.
