SHELTON — A suspect has been arrested in connection to the shooting of a Washington state man who was dragging a dead raccoon down the street.
KCPQ-TV reports the suspect who was arrested Tuesday is accused of running the man over and shooting him in the leg June 25 near Belfair.
The two men had gotten in a confrontation over the dead critter. Authorities say the victim was planning to use the dead raccoon as bait in his crab pot, while the suspect thought the animal was a dead dog.
A 911 caller reported the man was swinging the raccoon around as the suspect aimed a gun.
