11:52 a.m. Public Notice. Assisted with the wonderful
bike rodeo.

disturbance. Caller reported that a bear has been visiting
their property and destroying the bird feeders. They had
lived here a long time and had never seen this kind of
behavior. Caller was advised that the bears are hungry
because of the dry weather conditions. The bird feeders
should be taken down for now, so the bears won’t be
attracted to the property.
7:39 p.m. Arrowhead Trail: Unknown trouble. Difficult 911 call, due to a bad connection. When caller was
contacted a short time later, they said they were bringing
someone to the Emergency Room who seemed to have
lost their memory of the whole day. Ambulance was not
needed, just directions to the Emergency Room.

bear is high in the tree, about 12 feet from the ground,
and she is afraid the bear might fall. Conservation Officer
was contacted.

in the cabin and the intruder woke them up. Suspect

down from the tree and move on its way. A Conservation
Officer was contacted.
