ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Anchorage police are looking for a man who dumped fish heads in woods near an elementary school.

The perpetrator won’t have to clean up. A grizzly bear took care of that.

The fish dumper, however, faces a $300 fine for discarding garbage that attracts animals.

Alaska families regularly catch dozens of salmon and are urged to properly dispose of fish parts in fast-moving rivers, ocean waters or regular garbage disposal.
