Getting fact-checked by Snopes on behalf of @VirginiaABC's viral visitor 🦝 is a genuine career highlight.

🦝 A raccoon really did break into a liquor store, ransack some shelves and pass out on the floor. But one video claiming to show the trash panda's escapades is AI-generated.
Here's the real story with the verified surveillance footage. 👇

If you’re sipping a🔮potion, drinking something boo-zy, or indulging in a 🧹 witch’s brew, don’t get behind the wheel.

Whether you’re using a cab, rideshare or car-pooling, it’s your responsibility to have a safe plan to get home if you’ve been drinking. #SipResponsibly
