Connecticut man finds bear eating in his kitchen

WEST HARTFORD, CONN. -- A man caught a hungry bear helping itself to a meal inside his Connecticut home. 

Bill Priest, of West Hartford, walked into his kitchen Sunday and found the intruder. 

He said he grabbed a chair to put between him and the animal. He eventually got the bear out through the front door, but not before it ate an entire bag of marshmallows and other snacks.

"He did startle me. That was probably the one time I was scared," Priest said. "He had everything on the floor in there eating."

Priest said the bear came back the next day and ripped a screen trying to get inside. 

Last week, he also saw a bear going through a fridge in his garage.
