Deer that made late check-in at hotel shot dead by authorities

The Pennsylvania Game Commission had to kill a deer after it had made an unexpected late check-in at a hotel in State College early on Friday morning.

The deer found its way into the Days Inn hotel by entering through the automatic doors by the lobby at about 3:45am.

Surveillance video showed the deer sprinting past the check-in counter as an employee watched, before it became trapped in the bathroom hallway of the adjoining Mad Mex restaurant.
Pennsylvania Game Commission officers were called to handle the animal. After attempting to tranquilize the deer but failing, officers were forced to “dispatch the deer.” No damage to the properties was reported.
