It was reported to State Police this afternoon that a black bear ran out of the woods near Indian Fort Theater and ran into the side of a vehicle. Reportedly the bear was momentarily dazed and then continued across the highway (Hwy 21 East) and through a nearby field.

We would like to remind everyone to please exercise caution in the forest and surrounding areas.
