Deputies said the bear had opened the door to the home's mudroom, made its way into the residence and somehow managed to lock the deadbolt from the inside.

The bear trashed a room before falling asleep in a closet, where it was found by the deputies.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks personnel were summoned to tranquilize and relocate the bear.
