#1 attempting to get an up-close cellphone photo of a momma grizzly bear and her three cubs.

Momma & cubs, this is impressively stupid. In fact, it is so stupid I wouldn't bother to prosecute her because she will eventually wander into traffic, fall off a cliff, or be literally eaten by bears.

We'll have you know, Miss Dehring-er
that this family of bears are VIPs.
They're respectable fauna now,
and not like Nancy's invitees.
This fine lady's husband f'rinstance
knew the bishop of Rome very well,
and frequently helped his eminence
get into his tighty whities.

While I understand the 100% stupidity of the Self-Picture with a wild Griz and yes she have had DARWIN teaching moment for it.

But.
If she lives in Illinois then transfer the case to that Illinois district, since she wasn't arrested in Yellowstone district.

Or have that U.S. attorney / Marshall's office in Wyoming pay for her return ROUND TRIP Airfare and her stay in 3/5 star Hotel room, NOT a travel inn room for the duration of the court hearing and trial.

NOTE: The quoted 100 Yard rule is pure BS and suspect the US Attorney wants some MEDIA exposure maybe for Career building?

BTW:
Hell here in Cherokee Nation Park NC/TN.
There are ELK, black bears, wolves and deer walking within a few FEET of tourists, not Yards.

I'll bet it is the same in Yellowstone.
Where Bears have learned how to pose and even open car doors to beg for handouts.

#7....
Missed it..But I have taken a number photos in Cades Cove of such things. Even got one of the wife with blk bear about 20 yards behind her.

If my memory is right.. I remember a woman was killed by Black Bear mama near the ranger welcome center some years ago.

Are you local to Gat?
If so is that great pancake house still serving?
