Officers from the Division of Wildlife and deputies with the Boulder County's Sheriff's Office captured a bear in Lyons Tuesday morning. The bear came close to Lyons Elementary School during the chase to get the animal out of the neighbourhood.
The bear sighting happened as students were arriving for class at the school. They were moved into the gym as a precaution.
Deputies fired a bean bag at the bear which appeared to be woozy and wobbly as it moved away from the school. They speculated the animal was drunk from eating rotten apples in its preparation for hibernation.
DOW officials said the bear was tagged for its first offence and will be released at a higher elevation in the mountains.
