Smoky’s narc cousin? Bear busts Utah grow-op

In Utah’s Garfield County, the sheriff’s office has revealed that they found remnants of a major marijuana operation – apparently shut down by a bear.
“Deputies found food containers ripped apart and strewn all over, along with claw marks and bear prints everywhere,” the AP reports.
“Don’t call him Smoky,” the AP writer added, while the Sheriff declared that if he could find the bear responsible, he’d give him a Deputy’s star.
Careful pinning that one on, Sheriff.
