A four-legged heavy-eyed intruder surprised deputies in Montana.

They say they found a bear taking a nap in someone’s mudroom Friday morning.

Deputies say the bear got into the home in Butler Creek and somehow dead-bolted the door from inside.

The bear then started ripping the mudroom apart, before he apparently got tired and decided to snooze for a while.

He didn’t even care about leaving when deputies opened the door.

So wildlife officials tranquilized the bear to relocate him.

Deputies say this should be a reminder to homeowners to keep their homes locked.
