A 400-pound black bear, to be exact, and he returned to a residential block Glendale, Calif. yet again on Sunday. He was spotted by terrified neighbors taking a nap in a tree, CBS reports.

Nearby residents were evacuated, and Glendale police and California Department of Fish and Game personnel shot bean bag rounds and four tranquilizer shots at the bear.

After the massive, lovable fella was spotted eating frozen Costco meatballs out of garage refrigerator in March, he's become a national celebrity, keeping us abreast of his inner-most thoughts on his Twitter account.

After waking up from his most recent tranquilizer-induced slumber, @TheGlendaleBear tweeted Monday:
