12-21, 401 responded there the other night for a bear that broke into a house.

00:08

The neighbor's now calling in that there is a bear in a large kennel on wheels.

00:13

They thought maybe the neighbor had tried to keep it as a pet, but I believe that's probably a CPW trap for that bear.

00:19

I do have a call in to state patrol to have a wildlife officer call us and verify and to let them know the bear's in the trap.

00:25

Sorry, I'll head that way.

00:27

Thanks, everyone.

00:29

1221 reference.

00:31

Go ahead.

00:33

Yesterday morning I do know that CPW did put a trap out there, so I'm sure they're aware of it.

00:39

But yeah, it wouldn't have hurt to let them know that there's something in there.

00:43

Copy, I'm on phone with state trying to talk to that officer.
