Deputy Hits Deer

April 16, 2009

An Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy  struck a deer with his cruiser late Wednesday night near Bratt.

The accident happened on Highway 168 near Wiggins Road about 11:00 p.m. The deputy was not injured. The condition of the deer was not immediately known.

As is standard practice with any accident involving a deputy’s car, a crime scene unit was called to the location to photograph the damage.

    I bet he didn’t have the guts to do it again.

    Chris you’re funny!! I was wondering the same thing. I like that laugh. :) I hit a deer once in Opp, AL and within five minutes, I had two different trucks pull up and were practically fighting over who was gonna toss the deer on their truck. And there I was looking at the damage to my car crying my eyes out. It turned out the deer didn’t have insurance, so I had to pay for the damage myself. (true story)

    I’m sure the deer paid the ultimate price, so no charges will be filed against the deer.

    Inquiring minds want to know; will the deer be charged with failure to yield?
