ELLIJAY, Ga. (AP) - A 7-foot bear that accidentally got stuck in a North Georgia garage clawed its way out a window as a resident watched.
Teresa Ariail told WSB-TV (https://bit.ly/1GicW6d ) the bear finally broke its way through her garage door window in Ellijay and climbed out Tuesday night.
She took video of the incident while holding a shotgun in one hand and her cellphone in the other.
The bear apparently entered the garage through a side door seeking food in a trash bin. While rooting around, the bear accidentally closed the door and locked itself inside.
State wildlife officials said bears are rousing from their annual hibernation. They recommend that residents keep food and garbage locked away.
