A huge bear ‘imprisoned' itself in The La Plata County Jail. The animal weighing at least 100 kilograms climbed over the barbed-wire fence with and ended up in the grounds of the jail.
The county sheriff's office tweeted the pictures of the unusual break-in.

Jailers tried to remotely unlock the gate hoping the beast would push it open and leave but it didn't happen. Then the deputy sheriffs tried to shoo the bear away; however, the animal climbed a tree instead.
Later, the bear finally "fled on foot" into the hills not far from the prison.
