An apartment in Illinois was seriously damaged after a deer broke in.

Deer In Illinois Are Getting Into Trouble

According to mystateline.com,

For being such majestic animals, deer can get themselves into mischief. Of course, Illinois drivers have to be very careful driving in rural areas during the night because of deer running into the road. I have also noticed a lot of stories lately about deer getting into buildings and causing some serious damage. Plus, they are big and strong so they are difficult to move. The animals are easily startled so they can go off at the drop of a hat and trash a place quickly.

The residents of the apartment were out for the evening. When they returned home later that night, there was a wild deer going crazy in their apartment. It had broken through a window to get in. Police believe it was looking for food. When the police arrived, one of the officers grabbed the animal by the neck. It began kicking. He was able to wrestle it to the door to send it on its way. Don't worry, the deer wasn't injured.
