I had to reread the 150-200 bear part a few times. I just kept expecting to find pounds, or further explanation that there was actually 150 to 200 bears running through Canton. That really would have been a story since bear are notoriously solitary animals.

One could have also thought it was 150-200 bears. That would have been a sight.

It says "150-200 pounds" and the use of brakes, broke and breaks are all correct.....????? What am I missing?

Someone has gone in and edited the story since it first appeared several hours ago. In the original story it stated: a 150-200 black bear. they also used the incorrect spelling for break as in the bear then brakes the glass."

They always do this I believe to make a person look dumb. I thought I have misread a story amany atime because of this.

Funny you should comment. At dinner I asked my 210 lb. husband to get down on all fours so I could see how big this bear really was. ha.
Any bear should be considered a big bear. Especially when it's confused and hurt.
I guess I don't quite understand why the bear was left to roam around like that. Clearly he's not where he needs to be to be safe and not a threat to others.

After discovered, the bear wasn't left alone. It finally ambered off. I reckin the cop was to skeerd to arrest it for the damages it caused.

Since nobody was at the premises gettin busted into, I believe it would be a misdemeanor in some type of degree.

Just herd on the news that a bear showed up at a home on Main Street in Waynesville last night It is getting braver and now it could be B&E since someone was home. I guess they won't arrest the bear because no one wants to do a strip search on it.

Well at least it is not class, as in your case.

They changed it. When it was originally posted it was "he had to hit his breaks....

Actually they did spell brakes right...

They edited it... the original quote used "breaks" when referring to the devices used to stop the forward momentum of the police cruiser.....

I really hope someone is helping this bear find a suitable place to be. All kidding aside, it's hurt and someone is going to lose their cool when it shows up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps a parent of a small child. It won't be pretty or funny anymore.
Wonder if Mr. Free below has the solution? Perhaps he's already been contacted or contacted someone himself.

Massie said it all: Here's hoping we can enjoy the mountains with the bears without harming them.
