Bear Makes Second Dash for Freedom
Bonnie the 250 pound bear failed in a second escape from a 9 acre enclosure in Xenia Township Greene County. Three bears ran away Feb 15 from owner David Walker and were later housed on Todd Bell’s Silvercreek property after a judge ordered removal. Bonnie escaped briefly Sunday before being recaptured and Bell pleaded innocence to a misdemeanor animal at large. Authorities seized all Walker bears and plan larger cages for transport. Xenia is about 15 miles east of Dayton.
