Black Bear Comes to Ludington, Quickly Regrets It

Conservation officers poke the bear through the windows to get him to come out of an accessory building near the corner of Dowland and Washington this morning at around 11 AM. The black bear, first saw near the school forest before going across town to James and Dowland Street, was cornered after climbing up a couple of trees near this building. After using gunfire and non-lethal bullets to coax it down from the trees, the bear would seek this refuge and immediately after this crossed Washington and eventually went into the wilderness by the old depot.
