The New York State DEC was called in to help coax a bear out of a tree in Ramapo Tuesday. Ramapo Police say the 170 pound, one year-old black bear was in the backyard of a residence near Blauvelt Road. Police say the bear was safely tranquilized and removed to a less-populated area for safe release. For information on how to deal with bears, click here for the DEC website.
