GARFIELD COUNTY, Utah — With all of the recent marijuana grow seizures in Utah, a large bear in Garfield County decided to help "attack" the problem.On Tuesday, Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins, sheriff deputies and U.S. Forest Service personnel discovered a marijuana grow on the east side of Durfey Creek on Boulder Mountain. But what makes this grow different is that it had been initially raided by a giant bear.
Deputies found pipes chewed in half, food containers ripped apart and strewn everywhere, cans with bear teeth marks all over them, claw marks and bear prints across the camp, including giant bear claw scratches where people typically carve their name into a tree.
"This bear is definitely law-enforcement minded," Perkins said. "If I can find this bear, I'm going to deputize him."
