Police capture raccoon with mayo jar on head

Police in Ohio helped rescue a raccoon roaming the streets with a jar of mayonnaise on its head.

Central Florida firefighters rescued a raccoon stuck in a tree with a jar on its head this week. 

Marion County Fire Rescue was dispatched to Southeast 58th Avenue in Belleview on Tuesday for reports of a "Ricky the Raccoon" with a jar on its head that was stuck in a tree, the fire department wrote on Facebook. 

The raccoon was safely brought down from the tree, placed in a carrier and handed over to Animal Control, firefighters said. 

The raccoon didn't suffer any major injuries. 

"Great job guys!" the fire department wrote on Facebook, alongside a handful of photos of the rescue mission.

This isn't the first time this has happened – last month, police officers in Painesville, Ohio, helped take a jar of mayonnaise off a raccoon's head as it roamed the streets.
