The Ketchikan Daily News reports a small black bear cub walked in the front door of Tatsuda, Alaska’s IGA. The scared bear went to a produce cooler and made a mess.
Meat department manager Joe Stollar responded to the PA announcement with a net because he thoughy the announcement said there was a bird in the store.
Authorities suspect it was an orphaned bear since its mother wasn’t near. Stollar says the bear was just scared and trying to hide.
A customer went after the bear, and it was sent out the store’s back door into the woods. Several thousand dollars of ruined produce was donated to a livestock owner
