A large, male black bear has been moved to an area with more elbow room after causing some excitement in Connoquenessing Township last week.
The state Game Commission trapped the bear March 9 on the property of Cody and Chelsea Riley and released it in Allegheny National Forest.
Chelsea Riley said on March 6 she found bird food from her feeder scattered around her front yard, but thought high winds were to blame for the mess.
As the week went on, evidence of a different perpetrator began appearing.
