Deputies from the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson early Sunday, expecting a routine call.
Instead, they were met with a scene of surreal delight: a massive bear, cool as a cucumber, had expertly bypassed security to serve himself.
With singular focus, the connoisseur rummaged behind the counter, his sophisticated palate zeroing in exclusively on a tub of strawberry ice cream.
After a gentle nudge from law enforcement, the satisfied dessert enthusiast ambled back into the night, leaving behind barely a trace of his sweet, illicit feast.
