deer seen in the area of South Deakin Street and Pious Street in the south side. The caller noticed that the deer was laying on the ground in the roadway and tried to help it up and she got blood all over her hands and arms. And she said that the deer ran away and she was interested in finding out what she should do next about the blood and everything. Well, I'm sorry that she did that. I mean, she'll have to wash the blood off as she can. Can she say that here is left the area? She said that it ran down South 18th Street. She isn't sure where it went after that. Well, hopefully we'll get some more calls on it. I got a call earlier about the same thing. It was just about to send about, but we'll have to wait on that. As far as the blood goes, try to clean it up, but we don't clean up after dead animals.
