You never realize what you have until it’s gone. And when the storm hit, everything changed.

Deputies are waiting for Georgia Department of Natural Resources officers to arrive. Once the bear is found, DNR officers will safely relocate it to a less populated area.

The Sheriff’s Office is asking the public to avoid the area and if the bear is spotted, please contact the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office or Augusta 9-1-1 for assistance.
