On May 15, a black bear was spotted roaming the Lakewood neighborhood in Washington, prompting a brief school lockdown. Officers later captured the bear, which was found in a tree in the backyard of a Pierce County home. Wildlife officials believe the young bear was recently 'kicked out' by its mother and was looking for food. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources suggested that it could be the same bear seen in Brookland earlier, based on its travel direction.
