The bear was trapped and tranquilized, along with another
bear, on Saturday. A third male bear was trapped in the same
area Monday.
Wildlife officials set traps in the area because residents had been complaining of bruins getting too close to people and even following children.
A couple in the area was given a warning for leaving food out for the bears -- a possible precursor to a summons -- but officials said the bears were not euthanized because they had not posed an imminent threat to humans, nor had they broken into any homes.
