Police in Oxford responded to the unusual call to find the mammal blindly banging into shrubs outside the house. An animal control officer was able to free the skunk without getting sprayed, Sergeant Jon Varley said.
"One of our public safety assistants (animal control officer) was able to remove the can without being 'skunked'," he said. The skunk was then released. Varley says police in the city have received calls before about skunks and other wild animals.
But he says this was the first one he knew of that had to be rescued from a beer can. Oxford is home to Miami University, about 35 miles northwest of Cincinnati.

Wisconsinite here. Just to clarify for the global audience, that's not a beer can. That's just a Miller Lite can.
Hahaha! :)
Ohio resident here. For further clarification, Miami U is not an educational facility, it is a zoo for young alcoholic dbags. We've got to keep then somewhere!
Heh, thanks for the info, Jeff!
