Volusia County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Andrew Gant says a deputy stationed at Pine Ridge High School in Deltona was notified of the trapped raccoon Wednesday and called animal control for assistance. A vending machine operator was also contacted to unlock the door.

They rolled the vending machine to an open area of the school, and after about two hours the raccoon was set free.

A photo on the sheriff’s Facebook page shows the raccoon making itself comfortable in between snacks.

The Sheriff’s Office joked about it, saying, “This gentleman was apprehended today while committing a burglary of a vending machine at Pine Ridge High School.”

Despite allegations of burglary, the raccoon bailed out of the machine when it was opened up outside the school.

He prolly got tired of the damn machine refusing his wrinkled dollar bills and said, "fuck it, I'm goin' in"

"I been planning this thing for 3 months, I researched and researched but I forgot one tiny little thing, how do you get out of this bitch!!!!"

I'll bet the kids will start leaving his hungry little bandit treats out where they released him. He won't have a need to steal anymore.

So the built-in anti-theft measures kinda worked???

Vending machines are expensive anymore. I can't imagine how many quarters a raccoon costs.

I'm surprised they would have that vending machine in a school since so many these days allow vending only of healthy snacks, and not sure raw raccoon is all that healthy.
