COLUMBIANA CORNER Brave deer is too close for comfort

Perry Township Police and a Salem area resident recently had a close encounter with wildlife.
Police were called to a home on the 1900 block of Cunningham Road after a resident there reported a deer in his yard.
The animal, which appeared injured, came into the yard and approached a pen with dogs in it, police said.
The deer also allowed the home resident and police to approach it.
An animal welfare officer was called to come get the creature, which will be treated before being released, police said.
Caught on camera
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. It also could be worth a criminal charge.
A Salem woman grabbed her camera when she spotted some boys damaging a city park sign.
As the woman was snapping away at the delinquents, they saw her and demanded that she had over the camera that caught them in the act.
The brazen teens even came up on her porch to insist on her giving it up.
A police spokesman said it doesn't appear the woman relinquished the camera. Police haven't seen the photos she took yet.
