Raccoon Posse


Sheriff Describes Raccoon "Gang Attack" On Woman
By Jillian Coyle
"Lakeland, Florida (WTSP) -- A Lakeland woman is recovering from serious injuries in the hospital after sheriff's investigators say she was "gang attacked" by five raccoons Saturday afternoon."
"Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says 74-year-old Gretchen Whitted was trying to shoo the animals away from her front door when they suddenly attacked."

...It gets better. 

"They've attacked once. If someone frightens them, will they attack again?" Judd asked."
...
"Even if we capture a lot of raccoons [Sunday night], we can't be sure they are our suspect raccoons," Sheriff Judd said."

Suspect raccoons?!?!?  Really?!??!? 

Is the city just going to have an all out raccoon whacking day?

I wonder if this lady's family feels guilty for leaving her for dead. And by "for dead" I mean, leaving her to care for herself  in nice home in a suburban neighborhood that happens to have a few wild raccoons. 

Where was her Life Alert ®?
