A mule-riding criminal has been arrested for releasing a raccoon inside of a bar. Who is this guy?

I've heard of some interesting getaway vehicles and there are various ways to get to and leave from your crime. However, I've never heard of a mule-riding criminal. That might be a first! Especially here on Dave & Chuck The Freak. It happened in Murray, Kentucky and one man has been arrested after releasing a raccoon inside an open business, per FOX News.

Mule-Riding Criminal In Kentucky Arrested For Releasing Raccoon Inside A Bar

FOX News reports that 40-year-old Jonathan Mason is the man arrested for releasing a raccoon inside the bar. FOX News says that Mason arrived at the business after 9pm and released the animal which ended up biting a customer inside the business.

It sounds like he was previously warned not to return to the business so that might explain the motive behind the act. When he was pulled over, reports say he refused to roll down his window but was eventually removed from the car.

Back in December, Mason reportedly rode a mule to a liquor store and refused to leave and was eventually arrested after he tried to ride off on his mule. He was later arrested again after trying to take back his mule while drunk and was allegedly caught riding his mule down the road, per FOX News.

Spanning his 3 arrests, he's been charged with 2 counts of second-degree animal cruelty, third-degree fleeing or evading police, second-degree disorderly conduct, alcohol intoxication in a public place, 2 counts of third-degree criminal trespassing, 2 counts of resisting arrest, second-degree assault and failure of owner to maintain required insurance, per FOX News. That's a long list!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
