Deer crashes through window after entering apartment unit
Police shared body camera video as the deer escaped after entering a lower-level apartment, and officials urged caution during peak deer activity.
The Appleton Police Department released body camera footage of a deer that entered a lower-level apartment in Wisconsin, with the animal recorded leaping through a side window to escape authorities.
Wisconsin DNR identifies October and November as peak months for deer activity during the fall breeding season, with animals most active around dawn and dusk, increasing collision risks.
Authorities reported the apartment resident was not home during the incident; the landlord and resident later repaired the broken windows and confirmed no further damage remained inside.
Appleton police issued a reminder for drivers to remain alert for deer on the move, advising them to scan roadsides particularly during morning and evening hours.
In a Facebook post, the department advised drivers: "If you see one deer cross the road, be alert for others that may follow." This guidance aims to prevent collisions as seasonal activity remains high.
