A bear made an early morning visit to a Breckenridge hotel Tuesday, walking through a pair of automatic doors and helping itself to some chocolate before police officers scared it back into the woods using bright lights and the loud electrical crackle of a Taser.<\/p>\n

An overnight staff member at Grand Timber Lodge called the Breckenridge Police Department before 4 a.m. after spotting the bear inside the building. Body camera footage posted to Facebook and timestamped 4:05 a.m. shows the bear strolling through a hallway by the hotel lobby and eventually making its way back outside as officers redirected it.<\/p>\n

According to Officer Cory Olsen, the bear entered through the lodge\u2019s automatic front doors before becoming confined in the front office area. The bear also made its way into a snack storage room, knocking over several bags and indulging in some M&Ms. In the body camera video, the officer on scene can be heard saying, \u201cI guess he really liked the M&Ms\u201d after commenting that the room smelled like \u201cwet dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olsen said Breckenridge police most often respond to bear encounters at night when the animals crawl into dumpsters, garages or vehicles.<\/p>\n
