Staff at the Ice Cream Shop at Camp Richardson nicknamed the bear “Fuzzy” according to authorities. The animal reportedly had a strong preference for strawberry ice cream and officers were able to coax the bear out of the service area and back into the wild.

Early Sunday morning, deputies responded to a call at the Camp Richardson Ice Cream Parlor in South Lake Tahoe, where they found that a large bear had made its way inside the shop and was spotted behind the counter, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office said.
