Deer enters bank and leaves a deposit

A downtown bank received an unwanted deposit from an unlikely customer Monday afternoon. Employees reported hearing a crash and a commotion in the lower level of the Fifth Third Bank, 10 W. Auglaize St., around 3:10 p.m. Monday, said Lt. Greg Lowry, of the Wapakoneta Police Department. Moments later, one person who had called the Police Department, said a deer had come crashing through a rear, lower-level window into the branch. "At the back of the bank one of these large-paned windows that has a reflective tint to it was busted out. I approached the window, looked inside and saw a deer inside standing down the hallway from me in a room," Lowry said. "We were going to enter the bank that way and try to corral the deer. Once we got inside we realized it was a 200-pound buck and we decided we weren't going to corral it at all." Once inside, the deer began tearing things up, jumping on a table in a conference room, kicking hoof-sized holes in the walls and tearing down shelving inside a vault, Lowry said. There was deer fur, blood from a cut on its muzzle throughout the lower level of the bank, along with urine inside the vault, he said...LimaOhio.com
