A bear has been spotted in Tuskegee, according to Macon Co. EMA Director Frank Lee.
Lee says a doorbell camera caught a photo of the bear early this morning. He says residents in the Bibb Street area need to be aware of it.
The bear appears to be a cub when it was spotted in a tree.
Lee says his office is in contact with state and local partners to take mitigation measures. He told WAKA 8 that the game warden has been called out and it will be up to him what the next steps will be.
