"The first thing I was going to cook was a honey-glazed chicken just to show them who was boss but the hive smelled pretty chemically from the bug bombs so we thought it best not to use the honey."

Terrified patrons hid in the bathrooms or stampeded out the service entrance as the bear made its way right to the food. "I don't know what they normally eat but this bear seemed kind of picky.

"He has mounted playground equipment at a Catholic grade school, a recycling bin and a mountain bike chained up at Lymon Regional Park," said DNR spokesman Chris Hoffman.

According to Korey Trail, assistant manager for the collision center, the buck started ramming his head against the front entrance at about 8:20 a.m. until the glass door gave way and the deer was able to enter the office.
