Bear Strolls Through Wisconsin Grocery Store

[undeterred]

Hayward, 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 aisles.

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.

5. Perhaps the bear was looking for a deserted isle... or a desert

isle... or not. :)

2. ...all the other bears are sayin' "Where's Earl...?"

"We sent him out on a beer run and he never came back!"

4. Maybe Earl didn't know that in Wisconsin

you can't buy liquor before 8am or after 9pm...

7. Underage laws need enforcing!

For a bear, 125 pounds is a real lightweight. I'm betting he's just a curious youngster and definitely too young to be sent on a legal beer run.

Lucky for him he didn't cause any damage or he might have wound up in juvie. Another good kid who almost went wrong. I hope he learned his lesson from that tranquilizer dart.

:rofl:

8. Why hasn't Obama done anything about this bear problem?

This isn't the change I voted for.

BEER BEAR is a HOAX, a hoax I say. Grocery store looking for a reality show.
