There is a bear-y particular ceremony on deck in Kentucky … the place the true animal inspiration behind the “Cocaine Bear” film script is about to officiate a marriage.

Here is the deal … a museum in Lexington, KY is the present dwelling of the notorious Cocaine Bear, a 175-pound black bear that died from a cocaine overdose approach again in 1985, and a Kentucky couple selected him to pronounce them husband and spouse.

The marriage’s taking place Monday on the Kentucky for Kentucky Enjoyable Mall, the place the Cocaine Bear will preside over and affirm the union of Alexandra and Armando.

Also referred to as Pablo Escobear, the black bear infamously stumbled upon 40 containers of cocaine in Georgia’s Chattahoochee Nationwide Forest. The medicine have been dropped from a airplane piloted by convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton … and the museum says the retired health worker who carried out the bear’s necropsy advised them the bear’s abdomen was packed to the brim with cocaine when it died.

Cocaine Bear was stuffed by a taxidermist and it modified arms through the years, going from Georgia to Tennessee to Nevada earlier than ending up in a Kentucky museum, the place it is now an enormous vacationer attraction.

The museum’s cofounder, Griffin VanMeter, was lately quoted in Roadside America saying, “So long as you’re feeling that the particular person marrying you — like Cocaine Bear — has the authority, then that marriage will be binding right here in Kentucky” … and one couple took him severely.
