Most likely a Raccoon Dog. I know how crazy that sounds but such a creature really does exist. I am quite sure of it seeing as Raccoon Dogs are originally from Asia. If you look up "Raccoon Dogs" on Wikipedia, you can see a pic of them and clarify that that is the animal you saw.
The animal would quickly adapt to the new environment.
Raccoons are essentially the garbage men of the animal kingdom, meaning they will eat anything that does not move too fast or fight back too hard. As the raccoon's habitat is the continental US (with exceptions in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and the eastern edge of California--see the related link Raccoon Habitat map below), they likely are very familiar with scorpions who live from Florida to California and Texas to British Columbia (see the related link Scorpion habitat map below).
Raccoons are found in a wide variety of habitats throughout North and South America, from swamps to forests and even deserts and in major cities. Click on this link for a range map of the raccoon.
Raccoons are one of the most adaptable of animals. They do well in almost any habitat, from a deciduous forest, rain forest, grassland, wetland, desert to a large urban area.
