 An Oakland County Sheriff’s Department Commerce Township substation deputy was traveling westbound on Maple Road near Sycamore Court in his patrol vehicle a little after midnight on Sunday, Nov. 13 when the passenger-side door was struck by a deer.

While the deputy was unhurt and the vehicle only sustained minor damage to the passenger door, rear quarter-panel and bumper, the deputy had to put the deer down by discharging a firearm.
