According to a May 25 Facebook post from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement, the agency responded to a report of a black bear inside a residence around 5 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21. When game warden Derick Creech arrived on the scene and stepped inside the home, he found the bear sitting nonchalantly on top of the stove in the kitchen. The sight was a surprise to officials, who aren't unfamiliar with bear encounters, but are new to finding bears making themselves comfortable on top of the oven. "After taking a look around, it was determined that the bear had climbed up a ladder outside and squeezed through an opening into the attic," the post from the agency read. "The bear then fell through the ceiling into the residence below." Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement posted photographic evidence of the unusual moment on Facebook. One photo shared by the agency shows a large hole in the home's ceiling, and another shows the bear bent under a cabinet to sit on top of the stove. According to the post, Creech enlisted the help of a deputy from the Bell County Sheriff's Office, and the two officials ran "the bear out through an open door."
