LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A hungry bear named "T-Shirt" put on quite the show for deputies on the north shore of Lake Tahoe after becoming trapped inside a dumpster. 

Deputies with the Placer County Sheriff's Department responded to reports of a large bear in an area of Kings Beach on Monday morning. 

He was named T-Shirt due to the recognizable white patch on his fur. 

Placer County deputies Bertoni and Staley were "able to help him get out of his predicament," sheriff's officials said.
