Police: Man sneaks into zoo, gets attacked by bear
MINOT, N.D. -- A North Dakota bear didn't take too kindly to a man who snuck into the zoo after hours.
Police say 21-year-old David Shepard was hurt when, after scaling the fence at Minot's Roosevelt Park Zoo, he stuck his arm into the bear enclosure and was attacked, CBS affiliate KXMB reported.
Police say Shepard and 23-year-old Cody Nelson Kage illegally entered the zoo and were walking around inside late Saturday night.
Shepard went to an emergency room, which notified police he was being treated for injuries sustained during a bear attack.
Both men were under the influence of alcohol.
Shepard will be charged with Criminal Trespass, a Class C Felony, when he is released from the hospital.
Kage was arrested and charged with the same crime.
