CLEVELAND - An unwanted guest wandered into Cleveland's Horseshoe Casino Friday, causing workers to call for help.

A raccoon somehow entered through the back portion of the building early Friday morning, according to Christina Karas, spokesperson for the casino.

Karas said the critter was never near the casino floor nor anywhere near a public area.

Staff at the casino called in an animal control company and had the raccoon safely removed.
