At 5:30 this morning (Sun. June 14) a bear was sighted in the area of Lighthouse & Cypress. PG officers located and followed it, then did what any intelligent PGPD officer would do — chased it into Monterey. This was at David Ave. Monterey and PG officers followed it as it roamed through back yards and when CA Fish & Wildlife arrived, they tranquilized it at around Prescott and took it away. It appeared to be about 250 pounds. Here is a safe and sane shot of the bear, taken from a PG patrol car. More later.

Closer than I’d want to be.
