Bear Strolls Through Wisconsin Grocery StoreHayward, WI (AHN) - Shoppers and clerks of a grocery store in Wisconsin got a bit of a scare this week when a 125-pound bear casually strolled up and down the isles.
The bear walked through the front door of the Marketplace Foods store on Thursday night in the town of Hayward.
Customers and staff were safely evacuated while the bear roamed the liquor store portion of the store for about an hour.
The animal eventually ended up in the beer cooler.
Authorities were able to tranquilize the bear. They monitored him overnight before releasing him back to the wild.
The store manager told WQOW, a local ABC News affiliate, that the bear caused no damage and the only sign he was there is a nose print on a glass door.
AMAZING.
I'm slightly baffled that I'm not in class right now. Having my Sunday afternoons back is something else. Sunlight! It's amazing.
You know how sometimes you skip over songs for no good reason, or you never manage to listen to them, even though you love the artist and the album the track is on? And then you do listen to it, and it just floors you with how gorgeous it is?
