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

According to the post, Fuzzy the bear caused very little damage and “there was barely any cleanup.”
