Bear euthanized after biting woman in Cheshire: DEEP
A black bear was euthanized after biting a woman in Cheshire on Saturday afternoon.
According to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, officers from the Environmental Conservation Police responded around 4 p.m. Saturday to reports that a black bear had bitten an adult woman.
The woman sustained minor injuries in the attack and refused treatment, DEEP said.
Cheshire police said the bear approached the woman while she was sitting in her backyard in the area of Cornwall Avenue and Oak Avenue.
The 280-pound male bear — which police said was “slow moving” and did not appear healthy — fled the area before officers arrived on-scene.
DEEP said EnCon officers located and euthanized the the bear following a search of the area. The bear was subsequently turned over to DEEP wildlife biologists for testing.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing.

CONNECTICUT — Here are the latest winners of $10,000 or more in assorted CT Lottery games and where the lucky tickets were acquired.
The CT Lottery has changed its policy on announcing winners in order to “protect” them from potential scams. For years, the CT Lottery policy had been to show the full names of all those who cashed in tickets worth $10,000 or more as a matter of public record. It then went to winners having the option of applying for anonymity over the past couple of years. Now, the CT Lottery has eliminated all first names in the winners listings and replaced them with just first names and last initials while keeping the anonymity option available.
