Video shows the team holding a tarp below as the bear drifted off to sleep and plunged downward, safely landing in the makeshift net.

The bear was later relocated to a place where it would be safer from humans, and humans would be safer from it.

"SPD gets their man, no... bear!" the department joked on Facebook, adding that the animal was "safely tranquilized and relocated."
