RAPID CITY - Rapid City police had a brief run-in early Monday
with a masked intruder who was threatening employees of a
convenience store.
But instead of a gun-toting robber, this intruder was a
raccoon on a rampage.
When police arrived, the raccoon went after one of them,
forcing the officer to dodge the animal.
Things got messy in a hurry as the officers tried to round up
the rummaging raccoon. Some items in the store were knocked off the
shelves, and one officer described it as quite a mess.
The raccoon finally found the door and made its getaway.
