A woman was charged by authorities after she brought a wild raccoon she named 'Rocky' into a bar.
Erin Christensen, 38, was charged on counts of misdemeanour after health officials were forced to warn those who came into contact with the animal about possible exposure to rabies.
State epidemiologist Amanda Bakken said: "Because rabies is such a serious disease with a nearly 100 per cent fatality rate, we are making this information available to the public as a precautionary measure."
