A deer became entangled in a soccer net and as it panicked, the netting wrapped itself tighter around the deer's neck.  Police carefully approached the deer and one officer held the deer down while they cut the net off of the animal.  A dashboard camera captured the scene as a they freed the deer and it leaped away.  Officers say the deer appeared to be uninjured.

These kinds of calls are becoming more routine.  Earlier this year they were called to the same school after a deer wandered inside the building.
