California Dept. of Fish and Game Public Information Officer said: Montrose bear has been active in the area for 3 weeks. Always ran away when saw humans: good bear behavior. Now tranquilized. Never been caught before. Adult black bear is 250-300 lbs. Confident that this is same bear frequenting Montrose, Glendale, and LaCrescenta. Will be taken far away to the forest.
California Dept. of Fish and Game Capt. Martin Wall said: "Moving a tranquilized bear is like moving a waterbed without a frame."
