Bear breaks through wall like ‘the Kool-Aid Man,’ police say

A bear broke through the wall of a house Friday night, leaving a hole “like the Kool-Aid Man,” police said.

The bear was attracted to the smell of trash and broke into the home by making the hole in the wall, then escaped when an Estes Park police officer arrived, police said.

There were no reported injuries related to the bear break-in, the Denver Post reported.
