Multiple black bear sightings reported near Oakdale

OAKDALE, Minn. — People living near the Oakdale City Hall are on the lookout for a black bear.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office says they’ve gotten multiple reports of a sighting. The Department of Natural Resources responded to the area on Monday night, and the state patrol sent a helicopter, but no bear was found.

The DNR says black bears are rarely aggressive.

If you do have an encounter with a black bear, back away while keeping an eye on it. Do not turn and run, the DNR says.
