SHAKIN' THE TREE, BOSS
Ohio reformatory officials helped one prisoner escape recently after he got stuck in a very compromising position.
The masked prisoner wasn't your usual inmate but instead a raccoon who got its head stuck in a jar of peanut butter. And those who helped with the breakout weren't really prison officials but volunteers for the 100-year-old Ohio State Reformatory, which is now a museum, in Mansfield.
An off-duty police officer, who volunteers at the reformatory helped rescue "Rocky" after the raccoon was spotted bumping into a tree and then climbing to the top.
A rope and a snare got the animal down from the tree, and once the plastic prison was removed, Rocky beat feet for the bushes.
And this, my friends, is news.
BTW, yogurt gets 'em every time, too.
