A bear crashed a camper's tent which ultimately led to her arrest.
A woman camping in Centennial Park in Anchorage, Alaska, was rudely awakened by a bear on Tuesday. Police received a phone call from a concerned citizen at approximately 7:30 a.m., claiming that a bear had crashed a tent, possibly with a person inside, the Associated Pressreports.

However, when police poked a sleeping bag inside the tent, 58-year-old Christine Chalp popped her head out.
Chalp claims that she played dead in order to evade the bear. Unfortunately, a bear nearly eating your face is not a good enough excuse to avoid a ticket -- or arrest.
Police issued Chalp a citation for feeding game after they discovered food and trash around her campsite, which is illegal because it attracts large game such as moose. Oh, yeah, and bears.
While issuing the citation, the police discovered that Chalp had a warrant out for her arrest on a misdemeanor failure-to-appear for disorderly conduct, so she was arrested.
So basically, this bear blew up her spot which ultimately led to a citation and an arrest. What a jerk.
