Chaska baby deer rescue
The backstory:
The Chaska Police Department posted video to Facebook. The rescue happened at about 11:40 a.m. Monday as officers assisted the Minnesota DNR with the rescue of a trapped fawn that had wandered into the levee system and was having difficulty getting back up a slippery slope.
Officers used netting to contain the baby deer before one could physically grab the fawn. The officer then took the baby deer and released it into a nearby wood area. That’s where the mother was last seen.
"Turns out the levee was no place for a Bambi. Thankfully, our crews knew the way out. From traffic stops to fawn rescues, it's all in a day's work around here," Chaska police said.
