Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Just before 1 p.m. yesterday, Richmond authorities received a call of a black-bear sighting on Helen Lane, off Commerce Road in South Richmond. A number of police officers were called to the area to search for the bear.
[…]
Officers cruising the area did not find any bears — but did come across two large black dogs. A police airplane flying above the area also failed to find any bears.
“Those damn city folk don’t know nothin’ ’bout no bears.”
You sure ’bout that?
From the Times-Dispatch, May 20
“A tractor-trailer hauling cabinets struck and killed a black bear today on Interstate 95 near the Richmond-Chesterfield line, Virginia State Police report.”
