A woman was arrested after bringing her pet into a bar.
She said that the Raccoon was killed on the spot and his body was taken to a lab for testing.
The family decided to raise money for the legal fees of the man.
The family of a woman in North Dakota who evaded police is raising money after she said local police shot and killed their pet animal because they were concerned for its health.
She was accused of causing a scare at a bar in Maddock, North Dakota when she brought a pet animal with her.
The family had been taking care of the animal for three months.
The animal was found on the side of the road by the man.
The family decided not to engage him because he was lonely, scared, and hungry, so they took him in.
He was bottle fed and cared for by the family while they worked to rehabilitate him into the wild.
According to the Tribune, police said that on September 6 they arrested a man for bringing a person into a bar.
According to Cindy Smith, who was the bartender at the time, there were about ten people in the bar, and Rocky never bit anyone.
Smith told the Tribune that he asked the woman what she was carrying and she showed him. I didn't know what she was thinking
The state Health and Human Services Department issued a warning about the risk of being exposed to the disease after the incident.
When I went to the Maddock Bar, who was at risk of being bitten by a bat or other disease? The person stated on the website.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department and the Benson County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant on Wednesday that led to the arrest of the man.
The Division Chief of Game and Fish Enforcement told the Tribune that the man tried to escape.
Insider didn't get a response from the sheriff's office on Sunday.
The authorities promised the family that they would let Rocky go as long as he didn't show any signs of the disease.
According to the Tribune, authorities killed the Raccoon in the middle of the night and took his carcass to be tested for disease.
The police used a battering ram to break down the front door of the house where Rocky was being housed when he died. The amount of manpower used to find and kill Rocky is impressive. The campaign was a shock.
According to the statement on the website, Rocky did not test positive for the disease.
He was charged with giving false information to law enforcement and tampering with evidence. She was given a violation of the game and fish for having a furbearer.
The maximum punishment for the charges is several years in jail and fines of up to $7500. The Tribune reported that he is free on a bond.
The impact to my family is that my children are confused and traumatised because of the excessive force that was used during the acquisition of this animal The trust that they have in local law enforcement agencies is eroded by this. My children are angry and upset.
The family is raising money on the internet to help pay for the legal fees of the man who shot them.
She said that "Rocky was the sweetest, most loving little boy ever who everyone loved, there was never a dull moment being around him, he was so dang smart and always happy."
