Police caught a rather unusual suspect in Knoxville, Tennessee, USA on May 29. The police were in Knoxville's entertainment district. The suspect was a 59kg black bear.
The bear was first spotted the night before near the University of Tennessee but eluded police by climbing over a fence. Officials believe they saw same bear in a rail yard, but they couldn't catch him.
Officials from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency were called in to tranquilize the bear. The bear was in an alley near lots of shops, restaurants and nightclubs.
Bears commonly are seen in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, about 40km away from Knoxville, but are rarely seen in the city.
The bear was set free in the Cherokee National Forest in southeastern Tennessee.

美國田納西州的警方五月二十九日在納克斯維爾的娛樂區內逮捕了一名非比尋常的嫌犯。嫌犯是五十九公斤重的黑熊。
這隻黑熊前一晚在田納西大學附近被人撞見，但巧妙地攀過圍籬，躲避警方。警方相信他們曾在一處火車調度場看過這隻黑熊，但卻抓不到牠。
田納西州野生動物資源中心的官員受命讓黑熊冷靜下來。這隻黑熊當時跑到鄰近商店、餐館與夜總會的小巷中。
熊類經常出沒在距納克斯維爾四十公里左右的大煙山國家公園，但在市區則極為罕見。
這隻熊最後被帶到田納西州東南部的查洛基國家森林裡放生。
