A Bullhead City man found out this week that keeping a raccoon as a pet is against the law. Arizona Game and Fish Department officers along with members of the Bullhead City Police Department arrested 57-year-old Stan Morris Wednesday after learning that Morris was keeping a raccoon.
According to a state wildlife official, Morris had been seen in public recently with the raccoon perched on his shoulder.
A Game and Fish spokesman tells the Mohave Daily News it's potentially dangerous both for the person who brings a raccoon into their home and also for young children or others who may interact with it.
Morris was arrested on suspicion of possession of restricted wildlife.
