According to the Daily Chronicle, the black bear that has been roaming the stateline has moved south of Genoa. Multiple residents have reported seeing the bear in a heavily wooded area.

Since first being spotted in Stockton last week, the creature moved into Freeport before finding it's way near Rockton.  It was then seen in Caledonia, near I-90 and Garden Prairie Rd. in Boone County and now near Genoa. Authorities are monitoring the bear and say that it does not appear to be aggressive. However, even though it seems like common sense, I must remind my legions of readers not to approach the bear. They are wild and stronger than you.
