There might be a rather large black bear roaming around Uptown Kingston today, according to the Daily Freeman:

City police were called to Stickles Avenue off Fairview Avenue Monday night to check on the whereabouts of a 300-pound black bear.

The resident who reported the bear sighting described the bear as a "big boy," the paper reports:

“He was over 300 pounds. He was running back and forth between the edge of the woods and someone’s back yard,” Tremper said.
