Ohio man’s private football party crashed by deer
LIMA, Ohio — A man in Ohio said he had to do some running of his own while watching football on TV when a deer came crashing in through a window. Jeff Berger said he managed to get out of the way when the animal charged at him Sunday evening inside his fiancee’s house in Lima in northwest Ohio. The deer jumped on the living room sofa Berger had been lying on.
The deer, which authorities said appeared to be a doe, had smashed through a patio window making a noise that Berger said led him to fear someone was trying to break in to kill him and fiancee Marianne Tate. Neither was injured.
Police officers arrived and chased the deer from behind the couch and out the front door. It was last seen going into nearby woods.
