A user on the Neighbors app posted about seeing the bear running across Colonial Boulevard and Fowler Street around 6:52 a.m. The sighting wasn’t confirmed until employees of Hurricane Safe Shutters at 2012 Earl Road entered to see the cub relaxing inside after 8 a.m. The business is just off US-41 across from the Fort Myers Country Club. A trapper from the Florida Wildlife Commission arrived shortly after with a tranquilizer gun so that the cub could be safely removed. Once sedated, it was removed in a cage for transportation to the Picayune Strand State Forest in Collier County. FWC says if you come face to face with a bear, you should speak calmly to it and slowly back away, then call 911 as soon as possible. A black bear cub inside Hurricane Safe Shutters in Fort Myers.
