Wayne Township firefighters were awoken at Station 82 last week by a woman seeking treatment for a pet raccoon that was exposed to "too much" marijuana.

"They could tell that the raccoon was lethargic and met all of those symptoms that we typically run into when someone's been exposed to marijuana," Wayne Township Fire Capt. Mike Pruitt said. "It really left the guys scratching their heads that someone brought a raccoon to the firehouse at 2 a.m. seeking help, and especially with the condition the animal was in, so we hope that the raccoon made a full recovery."
