Bear sighting in North Port, Florida

Bear sighting in North Port, Florida
Paws-itive identification. NPPD Officer Justin Lindsey caught something a little unusual on his dash-cam Saturday night. A large Black Bear in the area Wylam Dr. and Veterans Blvd in the City. The bear potentially drawn out after the recent #Raintreefire. The animal turned over a very large dumpster at a nearby church and was eating the trash. Residents in the area should take precautions. Also, if we find anyone interacting with the animal unnecessarily, you will be held responsible.
