Coyote Walks Into Northampton Sears

NAZARETH, Pa. (AP) ― State conservation officers say they don't know what will be done with a coyote that tried to enter a Sears store in broad daylight in eastern Pennsylvania.

Wildlife Conservation Officer Bradley Kreider says whatever eventually happens, the animal first will be checked by a veterinarian and authorities will try to find out if anyone came in contact with it before it was captured.

The coyote was caught Monday afternoon at a Sears Appliance and Hardware Store at Northampton Crossings. The mall is in an area of open spaces and farmland near Nazareth, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia.

The coyote was trapped between two sets of exit doors and subdued with a tranquilizer gun. No injuries are reported.
