“The deputies could barely believe their eyes as they saw a large bear behind the counter of the shop,” EDCSO said. “With some encouragement, the bear ultimately left, but only after showing interest in the strawberry ice cream.”

“Thankfully, Fuzzy the bear caused barely any property damage, and there was barely any cleanup,” the sheriff’s department added.
