Police, agents chase moose out of Connell

CONNELL — Police and state wildlife agents used paint ball guns and noisy firecracker shots to drive a young moose out of Connell.

The moose showed up Thursday morning in a residential area and charged at a maintenance worker.

The Tri-City Herald reported it took about four hours to drive the moose back into a natural area.
