GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A curious bear made its way across Grand Rapids late Saturday night and early Sunday morning before being captured by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

The bear was first seen at Indian Trails Golf Course, 2776 Kalamazoo Ave. SE, on the evening of Saturday, May 11. It reappeared in the early morning on Sunday, May 12, in a neighborhood tree in the 1600 block of Horton Street SE, according to Grand Rapids police.

Officers with the DNR have since captured the bear and plan to take it home.

Residents first reported seeing the bear at the golf course around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. It was later spotted walking through the Woodlawn Cemetery, and reemerged around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning up a tree on Horton Street SE.

Grand Rapids police and fire soon converged on the area to keep the bear safe while they waited for officers with the DNR to arrive.

Around 10 a.m., officers with the DNR shot the bear with a tranquilizer, causing it to slump before it fell to the ground with a thud.

Officers with the DNR said they believe the bear had wandered to Grand Rapids from a location 45 minutes north of the city and planned to drive the sleepy woodland creature back home, according to WOOD TV.

Around this time last year, DNR officers captured two separate wayward black bears in Grand Rapids and Midland. Biologists with the DNR said then that urban bear sightings have increased over the last 15 years.
