Crime Update
On 06/24/2010 Lt Allen Wood, Sgt Derek Osbeck and Officer Matt Ryan responded to 227 Fay Rd. in the Village, after receiving an animal call for a deer that had fallen into in inground pool and could not get out.
Upon arrival police observed the deer trying vigorously to pull itself out of the pool only to fall back in and continue to swim from end to end looking for a way out.
Sgt. Osbeck was able to locate a rope, after several minutes Lt Wood was able to get the rope around the deer while Sgt. Osbeck and Officer Ryan pulled the deer out of the pool only to have it turn around and run back into the pool again.
The deer appeared to become exhausted and the Officers feared it was going to drown. A second attempt by Lt Wood was made and the deer was again pulled from the pool. This time the deer was so exhausted it laid down after being pulled out of the pool and Lt Wood was able to remove the rope from the deer and approximately 10 minutes later the deer ran off towards the wooded area. The home owner was not home at the time of the incident and was later notified that evening. The damage to the pool was estimated in the thousands of dollars.
