On the record

Law enforcement report

¢ Believing a bear was on the side of U.S. Highway 24 near Williamstown, a passing motorist called Jefferson County dispatchers at 8 p.m. Sunday. Clay McHardie, a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy, instead found and removed a large bag of cedar mulch from the location.

“That call was pretty odd,” McHardie said.
