Smokey’s done messing around. The lovable forest loving mascot helped Florida police arrest a man accused of stealing Smokey the Bear signs from state forests. The man was caught with multiple signs and was trying to sell them for $1,900 apiece on Facebook Marketplace. Thankfully, with the help of Smokey, police managed to apprehend the man and retrieve the signs. This is why you don’t poke the bear! #news #smokey #bear #florida #funny #viral
