As a 500-pound bear known as “Hank the Tank” continues pillaging California homes for food, local police have begged the public to stop calling in to defend him.
“Please stop calling SLTPD to give your opinions about Hank,” the South Lake Tahoe Police Department pleaded on Facebook on Wednesday. “Our dispatchers are being inundated with these calls about Hank. It’s affecting their ability to give their full attention to emergency calls.”
