The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to a call for service at an ice cream shop at Camp Richardson in South Lake Tahoe. When deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered a bear rummaging behind the counter of the business.

"The deputies could barely believe their eyes as they saw a large bear behind the counter of the shop," EDCSO said. "With some encouragement, the bear ultimately left, but only after showing interest in the strawberry ice cream."

The sheriff's department added, "Thankfully, Fuzzy the bear caused barely any property damage, and there was barely any cleanup."
