    They say a call came in at 3:30 p.m. complaining about a black bear on Saturday.

    A homeowner in the area caught a picture of the bear when it walked by their home.

    Officials with the Hopkins County sheriff’s office say they could not make contact with the bear.

    This comes after a bear was spotted in Daviess County . Three reports of a bear were made in the Utica area between Highway 81 and the Natcher Parkway within about a 36-hour span.

    Officials have not said if this is the same bear spotted in Hopkins County.
