After a day filled with calls reporting a black bear being spotted eating out of trash cans, growling at animal control officers, crossing rivers and taking a casual swim, Thursday brought more sightings from Tallapoosa County residents.
Just before 6 a.m. a resident on Turtleneck Road reported seeing a black bear in his yard and about a half hour after that Whitney Shores said the bear crossed in front of her as she drove on Elbert Road.
