Bear of a problem

A black bear cub caused a bit of a stir in Pickens Tuesday afternoon, crossing Main Street and climbing the large tree in front of the Blue Ridge Coop offices, where it sat for some time, attracting a large crowd of onlookers before DNR officers arrived and shot it with a tranquilizer dart. Once the bear fell asleep, officers caught it in a tarp before placing in a trailer to transport.
