THE ALLEGED VICTIM TOLD POLICE THAT HENSON HAD PICKED HER UP FROM SCHOOL THAT DAY AND TOLD HER SHE WAS GOING TO STAY THE NIGHT WITH HENSON. THE GIRL REPLIED THAT SHE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE WITH HENSON AND HER BOYFRIEND, AND DIDN'T WANT TO STAY AT THEIR HOUSE.

THE VICTIM TOLD POLICE THAT HENSON BEGAN TO VERBALLY ATTACK HER, AND THE VICTIM BEGAN RECORDING THE INCIDENT WITH HER PHONE. THE ATTACK BECAME PHYSICAL WHEN HENSON HIT THE GIRL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE.

WHILE INSIDE WALMART, WITH THE ALLEGED VICTIM STILL RECORDING THE INCIDENT, HENSON THEN ALLEGEDLY LUNGED AT HER AND HIT HER IN THE FACE A SECOND TIME. THE VICTIM TOLD POLICE SHE DIDN'T REMEMBER MUCH MORE THAN THAT BECAUSE SHE WAS FRIGHTENED.

===========================

WYOMING AUTHORITIES SAY THEY KILLED A LARGE BLACK BEAR AFTER IT WAS REPEATEDLY SPOTTED NEAR SEVERAL SCHOOLS IN TETON COUNTY THIS WEEK.

WYOMING GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN MARK GOCKE SAYS RELOCATING THE 420-POUND MALE BLACK BEAR WASN'T AN OPTION BECAUSE OF THE ANIMAL'S HISTORY.
THE BEAR HAD BEEN CAUGHT ONCE BEFORE IN JACKSON.

AUTHORITIES RELOCATED IT IN 2015 TO THE SOUTHERN END OF THE WYOMING RANGE.

GOCKE SAYS EUTHANIZING THE BEAR WAS A DIFFICULT DECISION BUT ALLOWING IT TO REMAIN IN THE AREA WAS TOO RISKY.

AUTHORITIES WERE CONCERNED ABOUT STUDENTS AT SEVERAL SCHOOLS TRAVELING IN THE AREA AT DAWN AND DUSK, PARTICULARLY ACTIVE TIMES FOR THE BEAR.
