Deer invades Athens supermarket

By
ATHENS - A deer wandered into an Athens supermarket Wednesday morning, trotting through two sets of automatic doors before making a wild dash for the dairy section. <br> <br> Kroger assistant manager Kelley Minish said the doe vaulted over refrigeration units at the rear of the store before being intercepted by two employees near the meat department. <br> <br> Meat market manager John Mobley grabbed the deer around the neck while co-worker Jerry Peterson snagged its rear legs. The two muscled the deer out the back door, and it scampered off. <br> <br> Minish said if they hadn&#39;t grabbed the animal, there&#39;s no telling what it could have torn up.
