Deer caught on camera trying to break into Coweta County jail
Body camera video shows a Coweta County deputy rescuing a fawn who was attempting to break through the jail fence.
COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - Body cam video captured a tender moment between a Coweta County deputy and a lost fawn, who, strangely enough, was trying to break into the Coweta County Jail.
Caught on Camera:
It's unclear how the fawn got onto the jail property, past the guard line, but it tried to squeeze its way through a gate into a restricted area.
The video showed Coweta County Deputy Austin Webb to the rescue, picking up the fawn and carrying it to his car.
After an onlooker helped the deputy put the deer in his car, Deputy Webb took the little one to some nearby woods and released it.
There are a lot of deer hunters up here at the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, not that the little fawn was ever in trouble, but they know a thing or two about deer and wildlife up here. So, it was resolved quickly and safely.
