“Hank the Tank,” Lake Tahoe’s 500-lb Home Invasion Bear, to be Spared thanks to DNA Evidence

It was a frame-up!  Hank the Tank , the massive 500-pound bear blamed for breaking and entering more than two dozen homes in California’s Lake Tahoe area, is no longer the sole suspect, according to officials.  Originally, authorities kept blaming all the break-ins in the Tahoe Keys area of South Lake Tahoe on the bear.  In fact, just last week officials said they believed Hank carried out 28 home invasions […]

Parkinson of Philadelphia. Today, California produces […]
