Oh deer!

When downtown Morganton barber Tommy Sain strolled up to his Sterling Street shop just before 6 a.m. Tuesday, he saw quite a commotion in progress. A couple of police cars were parked out front and three of Tommy's early customers were peering intently into Toasted and Rolled, the ice cream shop next door. In the brightening summer dawn, a deer had come running up Sterling Steeet, hung an abrupt right, and smashed through the front door of the shop. The deer, which suffered superficial cuts from the pluge through the door, was subdued by Public Safety Officer Brad Morris and then escorted out the backdoor. "She took off for Silver Creek Restaurant," Tommy said. "I told her she could get a milk shake and a livermush sandwich there."
