California Highway Patrol responded early Thursday to a car on fire, but this was no typical vehicle blaze.
When officers arrived around 5:30 a.m. at the scene, on eastbound Interstate 80 near Farad, they found a man who had started a fire on the hood of his car. Allen Ray Houck, 32, of Rio Linda, told officers there were bears in the area and that he’d set the fire in order to scare them away, authorities said.
“He was just talking about bears. Bears, bears bears,” said Officer Carlos Perez. “(Officers) noticed objective signs of intoxication. Eventually he was placed under arrest for being under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and arson.”

Was he afraid that the bears might steal the car?

Rush, “For those of you in Rio Linda” Be funny if he's been given a measure of authority in the next world to "write" the news back in this world, lol.
