Body cam shows state trooper free fawn stuck in fence
By: Pulling over drivers who are moving way too fast is the bread and butter of the job for those who wear the maroon and brown of the Minnesota State Patrol.
But one trooper is receiving kudos for responding to something that was sitting at a standstill.
A video shows Trooper Mollie McClure rescuing a tiny fawn caught in a wire fence just off I-94 in central Minnesota on May 28. The post says McClure was driving the interstate when she noticed a doe pacing along a fence line. The trooper could also hear the cries of a young fawn.
McClure pulled over to investigate and found the tiny deer had become stuck in the wire fence. With body cam rolling, she carefully freed the legs of the spotted fawn, lifted it up and carefully put it through the top of the fence, so it wouldn't be caught or cut by the barbs.
The video shows the fawn bounding off to reunite with its mother, and trooper McClure went on her way... with her next assignment likely involving something moving a bit faster.
