Police Put Down Deer After Accident; Items Taken from White Lake Home

White Lake Police were called to the 9000 block of Highland Road Dec. 10 at 8 a.m. after a car struck a deer in the roadway.

According to the report, the person involved in the accident was not on the scene when police arrived (and did not file a police report), but drivers on the road called after seeing the deer in the middle of M-59.

Officers stated in the report that the deer has severe injuries. The deer was shot and killed by an officer and removed from the roadway.

Lt. Don Nankervis said a local resident was called and he came and took the deer to harvest it for meat.

"We have a list at the front desk of people who will come out and take the deer when there is an accident like this," Nankervis said. "We don't like to let it the deer go to waste."
