Crime Time: Unfriendly Raccoon, Battery, Marijuana Possession

A Shorewood woman was treated for a raccoon bite after the animal settled into her home in the 4500 block of North Marlborough Drive, June 6.

After a failed attempt by Whitefish Bay police to capture the raccoon with a trap, the woman called an exterminator who removed the animal. The woman was treated for rabies.
