The Kenton County Police Department posted the video on it’s Facebook page (which you can access by clicking here) and stated that Officer Pittagula “maintained his control throughout the entire incident, even when the large (but apparently agile and acrobatically trained) deer flew across the hood of the cruiser.” They went on to say that: “We did place a call to Santa just to be sure this deer didn’t belong to him (we would hate to end up on the naughty list).

Memo to Law Enforcement: Especially in today’s twisted times, but always, all law enforcement agencies should strive to have the best possible public relations.

Memo to the Kenton County Police Department: That was a social media win. Well done!
