OPP officers spring into action to free deer trapped in fence
Two Ontario provincial police officers responded to a unique call in Midland for four deer running about on William Street. Soon after, the officers found one very distressed deer stuck in a fence.
Constables Cerilli and Lamacchia with the Southern Georgian Bay OPP detachment spotted the back end of the deer thrashing while wedged between two wooden yard fences Tuesday morning.
