GREENWICH TWP. -- This is a story about a raccoon.

This is a story about a raccoon with a jar stuck on its head.

This is a story about a raccoon with a jar stuck on its head that was trapped on the top of a utility pole.

Greenwich Township residents found the raccoon Wednesday morning on Ye Greate Street. The concerned residents reached out to Atlantic City Electric to rescue the animal, according to Frank Tedesco, spokesman for the utility.

"Crews quickly and safely removed the animal from the utility pole, freed it from the jar and returned our furry friend to its natural habitat," Tedesco said. "We appreciate the calls from our customers who alerted us."

Atlantic City Electric shared the photo of the raccoon on social media, much to the embarrassment of the raccoon.
