TRENTON, OH — A coyote paid an unexpected visit Friday to a family in Ohio, according to police.

Officers in Trenton responded shortly after 5 a.m. to a call about an animal in a bathroom, police said. When they arrived, they found an adult coyote hiding behind the toilet, according to police.

The coyote had entered the home an hour earlier through the open front door while the family was loading vehicles for a trip, police said.
