A Wisconsin police officer is a real “pet detective” after performing an unusual rescue on Thursday.

Dispatch received a call about a raccoon with its head stuck in a peanut butter jar.

Officer Adam Lange arrived on scene.

The raccoon initially attempted to flee from the officer.

Lange pursued the raccoon for several feet before the raccoon yielded to the officer.

The officer temporarily detained the nocturnal carnivore.

Lange removed the raccoon from its sticky situation.

After the extrication, the raccoon was released on its own recognizance.

Lange reported the incident on the police department Facebook page.

“Raccoon last seen headed southbound believed to be looking for grape jelly,” Lange stated.

Lange rescued an iguana and returned it to its owners earlier in August.
