On July 15, a bear cub searching for food followed its nose to a nearby dumpster, only to be met with a nasty surprise when it found itself trapped.
Douglas County sheriff deputy Lee Jazombek responded to the call of the distressed bear and met up with Colorado Parks and Wildlife officer Sean Dodd, who was already on scene.
Together, Jazombek and Dodd worked to slowly tip the fence in at an angle, and support it with a wooden plank, so the bear could climb out on the make-shift ramp.
