DULUTH, Ga. — It's an endeering tale about how police performed a doe rescue. Duluth Police Department officers were called to help a young deer stuck in a fence. Body camera footage shows the moment when a neighbor pointed Officer Lucas to the doe-eyed animal stuck between bars and shrubbery along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Skittish and confused, the deer struggled to set itself free but wasn't able to wiggle away, despite its best efforts. Clear that the deer wasn't fond of being stuck, Lucas approached the jumping deer who grunted in his direction.
