WILKES-BARRE, P.a. -- An unwelcome guest caused quite the commotion Thursday morning in a Wilkes-Barre neighborhood.

The Game Commission was called after a four hundred pound black bear climbed up a tree on Shiber Lane in the city.

The bear was discovered around 6 a.m. Thursday morning.

Game officials had to use three tranquilizer darts to bring the bear down.

The game commission says the same bear was tagged six days ago, after it ate some chickens in Laflin.

No word where that bear will be released.
