Biologists with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources set a trap on Wednesday hoping to catch a mischievous black bear that has been wreaking havoc around a home off Highway 67, south of Statesboro. Craig Bozman told the Statesboro Herald on Wednesday that the bear has “chewed on and popped” three of his tires; turned over a cooler, scattering water bottles; and scratched on his house during the three nights — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday — the animal has frequented the man’s home. Bozman said his wife heard scratching on the side of their house Tuesday night, and when he went outside to investigate, he found the bear in a tree in his yard.
