A California man has filed a lawsuit after a bear in a dumpster startled him at a town in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, causing him to flee and injure himself, according to court documents. John Donaldson was vacationing in the tourist area of Incline Village in September 2019 when he opened a dumpster to toss his dog’s waste when he found a bear that began to approach him. In the lawsuit, Donaldson alleges that Incline Village and other parts of Lake Tahoe have a "serious and persistent bear problem, predominantly trash related."
