“One scoop or two?” A South Lake Tahoe ice cream shop got an unexpected visitor last weekend, one with a sweet tooth.

According to the Eldorado County Sheriff’s Office in an online Facebook post, deputies were dispatched in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 17, to a call for service at the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson.

When they arrived, deputies found a large bear behind the counter.

The bear, nicknamed “Fuzzy” in the sheriff’s post, lingered long enough to show interest in the strawberry ice cream before being encouraged to leave.

Despite the surprise visit, the bear caused "bearly" any property damage and "bearly" any cleanup.

No injuries were reported.
