An adventurous bear found itself atop of a utility pole in Cochise County.
Lineman Werner J Neubauer eventually coaxed the bear off the pole as footage shows. Neubauer said he received a call about the bear being at risk of electrocution from the utility pole.
“I de-energized the equipment and worked with a fiberglass stick to get her to climb down. My wife Tina filmed the incident with my phone,” said Neubauer according to Storyful.
Eventually the bear was pushed off the pole, fleeing the incident unharmed.
Yet this wasn't Neubauer first bear related issue, in 2021 Neubauer dealt with similar scenario after a young bear was found lying atop a utility pole.
