Knoxville Police posted pictures on Twitter of their discovery, showing the critter climbing up a wall of cell phone accessories and scampering across the floor.
The store's business owner told WATE the animal fell through the store's ceiling, landed on a kiosk and created a big mess.
The raccoon eventually escaped through the store's front door.
"The on-scene Sgt could not confirm or deny the suspect successfully escaped with an iPhone X," police said on Twitter.
