Watch 2 Ohio police officers free a raccoon struggling with its head stuck in a jar

• Officers from the Perkins Township PD in Ohio helped a raccoon with a jar stuck on its head. 
• While getting gas, the officers spotted "Bandit," the raccoon, who approached them. 
• After one officer freed Bandit, the raccoon ran away. 

Two police officers helped a raccoon free its head from a jar, and the incident was captured on the officer's body camera.

In a Facebook post, the Perkins Township Police Department in the Sandusky, Ohio, metropolitan area thanked Officers Ryan McDermott and Ryan Waechter for helping the "resident" raccoon who they named "Bandit." 

Bodycam footage from Officer McDermott shows Bandit running up to the men with a jar fixed on its head. McDermott gently pulls off the jar while speaking to the raccoon in a voice reserved for pets and animals, and Bandit runs away across the parking lot.

"It's often asked what is a typical day in law enforcement, and here's proof that there is no typical day," reads the post. 

Bandit is not the first animal that has needed to be rescued due to human trash being stuck on their heads.

In 2013, a sheriff's deputy in Monroe County, Florida, rescued a deer whose head was stuck in a bag of Doritos. And in 2016, a man lassoed a two-year-old bear before calling Colorado Parks and Wildlife to help get a Cheese Balls container off of the bear's head.
