all at night

WARRENTON —It’s rare
to see black bears in Warren-
ton and Hammond, but in the
last few days residents have
reported multiple sightings
as well as tipped over and
destroyed trash cans.
So far there have been
four sightings total, all at
night, two confi rmed by
police offi cers.
One recent night, a War-
renton P olice offi cer spotted
a bear running down the road
and followed it in his squad
car. Video from his patrol
car (which can be viewed on
the department’s Facebook
page), shows the bear skitter-
ing down the road, the under-
side of its paws fl ashing in
the gleam of the patrol car’s
lights. Eventually it crosses in
front of the car and ducks into

the brush alongside the road,
disappearing from sight.
The sightings could indi-
cate multiple bears in the
area. Or, said Warrenton
Police Chief Mat hew Work-
man, “It may be one black
bear that can really cover a
lot of ground.”
In Workman’s eight years
as chief , he can only remem-
ber one confi rmed black bear
sighting. Usually, he and
other police offi cers are more
worried about cougar sight-
ings in the area. The depart-
ment contacted the Ore-
gon Department of Fish and
Wildlife to get guidance on
what to do about the bear, or
bears, but hasn’t heard back
yet.
“Four sightings in a few
days, that’s a little concern-
ing to me,” Workman said.
Bears don’t typically set out
to hurt people, he added, but
he worries what could hap-
pen if bears start to make a
habit out of visiting Warren-
ton and Hammond’s garbage
and recycling cans. Any bear
that becomes trapped while
foraging in human territory,
or thinks it is trapped, could
be dangerous.
