Normally, a story about a bear skulking around Westport — even a very big one — would wait until the next day’s “06880” Roundup.
But tonight is Halloween.
Kids are out trick or treating. There’s tons of candy on doorsteps, and probably discarded on lawns and roadsides.
This alert can’t wait.
This bear was spotted on Sturges Highway, near Fairfield.
It’s always important to be careful on Halloween.
Tonight, take extra care!
