There were about 10 people in the bar during Rocky’s happy hour visit.
MADDOCK, N.D. — A woman who brought a raccoon into a North Dakota bar during happy hour faces criminal charges, and the animal was killed by state health authorities.
Nevertheless, word of the visit reached health officials, and the following week the North Dakota’s Health and Human Services Department issued a warning that anyone who had had contact with the raccoon’s saliva should seek medical care. State wildlife officers eventually found Rocky after serving search warrants in and around Maddock. The raccoon was put to death; a rabies test came back negative.
Christensen told the Tribune that her family found the raccoon on the side of a road about three months ago. She said they planned to release him back into the wild when he was strong enough.
