NDOW kills nuisance black bear in Incline
By Jeff DeLong, Reno Gazette-Journal
A problem-causing black bear that wildlife officials said was becoming increasingly dangerous was killed Tuesday in Incline Village.
The bear, a 9-year-old, 450-pound male, was captured Monday night or early Tuesday morning, tranquilized and subsequently euthanized with drugs, said Chris Healy, spokesman for the Nevada Department of Wildlife.
The bear was determined to be the same one that had been raiding trash, breaking into cars and knocking over fences in the area and was killed as a threat to public safety, Healy said.
