Man arrested after raccoon incident linked to Murray mule chase

MURRAY, Ky. (FOX 56) — Murray police had another run-in with a man remembered for a police chase involving a mule, but this time, the call for service involved a raccoon.

Around 9 p.m. on June 6, Murray police received a call reporting that 40-year-old Jonathan Mason let a raccoon loose in the Big Apple Grill and Bar, and it had bitten someone. Court documents show that this is the same bar Mason allegedly visited before leading police on a muleback chase.

Murray police said that by the time officers arrived, Mason had left. An arrest citation noted that they found him driving a red pickup truck on Highway 94 East, but when they activated their emergency equipment, Mason allegedly motioned for officers to pass.

Once out of the vehicle, officers said Mason wouldn’t roll down his window, and police approached the truck with guns drawn.

“Jonathan Mason had a history of involving firearms when dealing with law enforcement officers,” Murray police wrote.

Officers broke the driver’s side window and removed Mason from the truck. Court documents noted that the truck was left in neutral and rolled backward, hitting a police cruiser.

Big Apple staff told police that Mason has been banned from the property, per an arrest citation. It’s unclear if this is concerning his alleged drunken visit to the Big Apple on muleback from December 2024.

Mason was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, third-degree criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, and failure to maintain insurance.
