The Illinois woman, seen photographing the bear family in a viral video, was also banned from Yellowstone National Park for a year.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A judge has sentenced an Illinois woman to four days in jail for not moving away while a grizzly bear with two cubs came dangerously close and bluff-charged her in Yellowstone National Park.
Samantha R. Dehring, 25, of Carol Stream, Illinois, pleaded guilty Wednesday to willfully remaining, approaching and photographing wildlife within 100 yards .In addition to sentencing Dehring to jail, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark L. Carman in Mammoth Hot Springs banned her from Yellowstone for a year and ordered her to pay a $1,000 fine and $1,000 to a wildlife protection fund.
Dehring’s attorney, Ethan Morris, didn’t immediately return a phone message Thursday seeking comment. She encountered the bear May 10 at Roaring Mountain, a hillside with numerous noisy steam vents called fumaroles. As the grizzly approached much closer than the football-field-length limit for people to approach bears and wolves in Yellowstone, other visitors backed away and got in their cars. Dehring stayed put and kept taking photos, federal prosecutors said in a statement Thursday.
