Sherri Karn. ā€œWith both police cruisers nosed into the front of the truck, a long rope was then tied to the driver’s side door handle. With both police officer’s safely inside their police vehicles the rope was pulled and the door opened allowing the black bear to exit the truck and make his way back to the forest.ā€
