GREECE, N.Y. -- Trying to save an injured deer at Christmastime is admirable. But police say an upstate New York man was drunk behind the wheel when he tried to drive a deer he'd hit to a hospital.
Police say 29-year-old Andrew Caswell ran into the deer around 2:30 a.m. Monday on a rural road in the suburban Rochester town of Greece. He and three companions argued over what to do with the injured animal. Caswell decided to take it to a hospital, so they put it in the trunk and drove off.
While en route, an officer alerted to the accident pulled the car over and discovered the deer had died.
Police say Caswell's blood alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit. He was released with a court appearance ticket.
