Woman Allegedly Provokes Grizzly Into a Charge with Photo Op; Now She's Set to Appear in Court After Officers See the Video

Yellowstone National Park is neither a zoo nor a drive-through safari at Six Flags.

If you treat it as such, you deserve what you get.

In the case of Samantha Dehring, she’s probably lucky it’s just criminal charges.

According to WBBM-TV, the suburban Chicago woman faces charges of feeding, touching, teasing, frightening or intentionally disturbing 🦌Wildlife and violating closures and use limits after a viral video from earlier this year allegedly showed her approaching a mother bear and her cubs in the 🏞️Wyoming national park.

The video originally was shot on May 10 and posted to Instagram by another user.

In it, the mother grizzly bear can be seen making a tentative charge toward a woman, who quickly moves away. The bear then backs off.

“Oh my God, oh my God,” one of the women filming, who was inside her vehicle, can be heard saying.

“I got that on video,” said another woman inside the car.

“Me too,” the first woman said, adding: “Holy f***.”
