Bear snoozing in tree surprises Summit residents

A black bear gave some Summit residents quite a surprise on New Year’s morning when they woke up to find him snoozing in a tree in their neighborhood.

The Summit Police department recently posted the following alert on their website: "Bear wandering on Ashland Rd. Currently treed in area of #299. NJ Fish & Game notified. DO NOT APPROACH THE BEAR!"

In the meantime, all residents can do is watch the bear lounging in his treetop domain -- and wait to see what happens.
