During a recent community event in the city of Duarte, Temple Station deputies made an… unexpected arrest. Let’s just say this suspect was a little on the “bear-y” suspicious side. The furry individual—later identified as a beloved mascot for a local volunteer group—was taken into custody after causing quite the scene (and stealing a few too many hugs without a permit). All jokes aside, no bears were harmed, no charges were filed, and the “suspect” was released back into the wild shortly after for more photos and community fun. Even when things get a little paws-itively unusual, Temple Station deputies are always happy to keep our community safe—and smiling. lasdhq city_of_duarte #communityevent #duarte #beargoeseverywhere #egghunt #templestation
