Police in Minot say they responded late Saturday night to a bear-attack report. 

David Shepard, 21, was in the hospital emergency room and said he had been attacked by a bear. He wasn't lying. Sure he left out a few details, but he was in fact bitten by a bear.

Police say their investigation showed that Shepard and Cody Kage, 23, broke into the Roosevelt Park Zoo after hours... By now you probably don't need us to tell you that alcohol was involved.

Shepard decided he wanted a closer look at one of the bears so he stuck his arm through the bars and tried to get the bear to come closer.

It did.

The bear bit his right hand.

Both men are now facing felony trespassing charges.
