Deer broke into home before ransacking bathroom

A woman from Galloway in New Jersey was putting sweet potatoes in the oven on Saturday afternoon when she saw a deer running down a hallway in her home.



Curious, she followed the animal as it explored the home and then entered the master bathroom. Seizing the opportunity, she locked the door and quickly called police.

Officials say when they arrived, they found broken glass from the front storm door and damage to the main door frame. There was a short standoff as officers decided how to corral the animal.



Eventually, the deer was captured and taken to the woods, where it was released. Authorities say the animal must have really wanted to get inside. An investigation showed the deer fought its way through two doors to gain access into the home. The homeowner wasn’t hurt, but the bathroom sustained heavy damage.
