Joshua Emery Greene looks bemused in the mugshot featured in the above video. We find this an appropriate emotion, because we're bemused too. Why did he go streaking in a parking lot off Route 394 in Bristol, Tennessee, where the Irwin Tools Night Race took place on Saturday? And why was he carrying a live raccoon?

NBC 2 was just as confused as we were:

"I'm walking up through here and here he comes, back up and stops in front of the band waving and spinning in circles and stuff," explained Tim Lee, a witness.

Police were able to chase Greene and caught up with him in a nearby neighborhood. As police charged him, they discovered a wild animal in his car.

"With that we also found that he and a companion were in possession of a raccoon," said Bristol Police Captain Matt Austin.

Police called in Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to help with the furry situation. "They said his girlfriend rescued it from a park, but as far as where it actually came from, we couldn't really say for sure," Austin said.

There is so much we really can't say for sure.
