A Detachment Location: Kake Case number: 10-68947 Type: Bear Attack Text: On 7/26/10, at 1040 hours, the Kake VPSO was notified of a black bear attack. A 17 year old male, from Kake, was walking on the road by the Four Squares church below the high school. He saw two cubs but did not see the sow. He stated that the sow came out of nowhere and slapped him on his left side. He tried to defend himself and was thrown into the ditch. When he woke up the bear was gone and he walked to the clinic to be checked for injuries. No major injuries were found. The VPSO is notifying members of the community to be on the look out for the sow and cubs and use caution if they are seen. The Alaska State Troopers would like to remind people to use caution in areas where bears or other wildlife might be encountered due to the seemingly unpredictable nature of wild animals.
