An actual police report from Camp Pendleton

Apparently this was an actual police report from Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA...

Improvise Adapat and overcome. Even if it means using some poor bastard raccoon as a bellows on your interlock device.

Hopefully the raccoon was not rabid. The Navy sailor may need to have his head examined based on extreme foolishness :-)

I would almost have to say that this PO1 really shouldn't face too much NJP since the raccoon messed his world up enough. Let's face it, he is never going to live that one down. On top of the fact that he was creative enough to try and use an animal to bypass the machine, so I will give him points for that. Otherwise, just slap that "Dumbass" stamp on his forehead.

WTF that's some serious drunk ingenuity. I'm: a) Impressed b) laughing c) shaking my head

The guy probably needs counseling and alcohol treatment (I mean the breathalyzer on his vehicle is a sign already...)

Too funny to be true, but definitely a hilarious twist to beating the breathalyzer.

If this is true (verified) - this is arguably the greatest "sea story" of all time. *Insert Will Ferrell's "I'm not even mad..." meme*

That is the funniest story I have read in a long time. Had to have 3 other guys come over to my office to read it. Since it was a Navy guy it is good to see the raccoon was not sexually assaulted also.

Kinda reminds me of the two guys in an old pickup that went off the road. The cop figured they were drunk, but no. Seems the headlights went out due to a blown fuse. They didn't have a spare but did have a 22 long rifle. The truck went a ways before the bullet blew into the driver's nuts, hence the accident.

No word on the condition of the raccoon...
Turns out next week's solution presented itself when the Petty Officer purloined one of the floating mats from the pool. Interlock starter in a bag... that should last him months.

I'm with LTC Private RallyPoint Member , I call BS on the authenticity too... because typical military police reports don't sound that intelligent, nor are they that complete. They usually look like a drunk racoon wrote them.

Classic. While that guy should not have been driving, he's got a story (and a police report to prove it) to share for the rest of his life. I hope he changes his ways before he hurts or kills himself or others.

Can someone get a copy of the blotter report for 26 SEP 2015 at Camp Pendleton? Funny story. I would say never in a million years could someone write a story like this. One of those "you cant make this shit up" moments.

There is NO WAY someone (even drunk) can pick up a raccoon ACTIVELY rummaging in the trash, carry him into a car, and start squeezing the piss out of it without it attacking you. He would have been bit and clawed the minute he stuck his hands anywhere near the coon. The story is BS.

This sounds so rediculous that it's hard to believe, but this crap actually happens. Take for example the great United States being led by an incopent senile leader. I think that the jerk who used the coon to bypass a breathalizer test probably has more sense than Biden

BBBBBB SSSSSS.
Not going to sneek up on a racoon in a GI can,or a dumpster.. 17 years living in the contry taught me that. Lots of stray dogs hangout there though. If he was wasted, he probably didnt know the difference anyway.

I Would NOT Doubt This To Be True:
Here's Another One For You.

One Evening, Dark And Late At night,
We Received An ER Alert,
Someone, Actually In A Pick-Up Truck,
Had Penetrated A Security Zone, In An Out-Of-The-Way Field,
Just Outside Of The Landing Strip.
We Surrounded The Area; Even Had A Vehicle With Flood Lights All Across It's Top.
We Quietly Approached The Truck When The Flood Lights Flashed On & Covered The Entire Area. Much To Our Surprise, There Was A Couple In The Truck;
By Then, Both Were Totally In The Nude. ...
We All Cracked Up Laughing As They Scurried To Find Their Clothes, Except The Well Endowed Female, Who Jumped Down To The Floor And Tried To Cover Up.....(Little Rock AFB, Around May Or June Of 1962.)
..An Evening To Live In Infamy.

Ain't there a TV lawyer for that? "If you have ever Served at Camp Pendleton and was viciously attacked by a racoon while intoxicated...you might be able to receive compensation for your injuries."
