A Charlotte County animal control officer took the raccoon to the Peace River Wildlife Center in Punta Gorda where experts went to work to free the juvenile critter.
“The animal needed to be sedated while the can was carefully clipped away until it could be pulled off,” animal control officials wrote in a Facebook posting.
The raccoon had only minor injuries and is expected to be just fine.
