Small bear makes mess in Alaska grocery store
KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — A small black bear cub walked in the front door of Tatsuda’s IGA. The scared animal found its way to a produce cooler, where it made a mess.
Meat department manager Joe Stollar responded to the PA announcement with a net because he misheard the announcement to say there was a bird in the store.
Authorities suspect it was an orphaned bear since its mother wasn’t nearby. Stollar says the tiny bear was just scared and trying to hide.
