Deer Damages UW-Stout Building

MENOMONIE, Wis. (WCCO) -- A deer caused thousands of dollars in damages after it crashed through a window in a building at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

University officials say the deer ran through the window of the Vocational Rehabilitation building shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The damages are estimated at $5,500, which includes window repair and cleaning a blood trail left by the deer, according to officials.

Authorities said the deer crashed through the window on the east side of the building after being chased by a dog. The deer exited the building through the automatic doors on the south side of the building.

Officials tracked the deer as it ran in a southerly direction through campus, but the blood trail ended and the deer was not found.
