Woman Jailed After Encounter With 'Bluff-charging' Grizzly Bear In Yellowstone National Park Samantha R. Dehring this week, pleaded guilty to willfully remaining, approaching, and photographing wildlife within 100 yards. The 25 year-old Illinois woman was at Roaring Mountain in Yellowstone National Park on May 10, 2021, when visitors noticed a sow grizzly and her three cubs. While others backed away -- as the grizzly approached much closer than the official limit for people to approach bears and wolves in Yellowstone -- Dehring stayed behind and continued to take pictures as the sow bluff-charged her. Witnesses took pictures and video of the incident which circulated online, eventually leading to her identification. They said she ignored warnings from others not to remain that close as the grizzlies approached. Dehring -- who said she has suffered emotionally from social media attacks -- will serve four days in the Gallatin County Detention Center and will pay $1,000 in fines, and another $1,000 to the Yellowstone Forever wildlife protection fund. She is on probation for a year and also banned from the park for a year. https://www.keneci.com/read-more-on-keneci-channels-newzbit#h.8hzg8b7olzp9
