Wockenfuss Gets Visit From Deer: Harford Sheriff

BEL AIR, MD — A four-legged intruder was found in a Bel Air business this week, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office. A deer broke into Wockenfuss Candies on Fulford Avenue, officials said.

The break-in happened on Thursday, and authorities posted a photo of the deer Sunday on the sheriff's office Facebook page.

"Trick or treat!" the sheriff's office said. "This deer was confused about which day was Halloween." Authorities reported that the deer had crashed through the front door of the candy store, then ran once animal control officials helped him out.

Here were some of the responses to the picture on Facebook:

• "We work across the street - the poor thing got hit on Fulford Avenue and then ran into the store."
• " I didn't know what happened but saw 2 men fixing the front door."
• "Looks like its eyeing the candy corn."
• "DNR should give them a ticket for baiting that deer with the candy corn on the counter."
• "Wokenfuss has delicious candy but...they ain’t got nothin’ for a BUCK!"

This was not the only burglary in the area traced to a deer. Last month, a doe went through a closet at a Bel Air residence.
