On Saturday, October 6 at approximately 9:45 p.m. the Crookston Police Department received a report of a bear near Tuttle Ave. between South Minnesota and Carroll Streets. Upon arrival, the officer observed a black bear in a tree. The bear was left alone and was gone when a return check was done around 11:45 p.m.
The Crookston Police Department is reminding citizens to keep garbage, pet food, bird food, etc. indoors. Bears are obviously wild animals, possibly in search of food this time of year before hibernation. The Crookston Police Department requests citizens to not go looking for the bear and not approach any wild animal if observed as they can be unpredictable and dangerous. Most wild animals in town will likely wander away and back out of town if they’re left alone.
