Police put down injured deer at Ford building
Animal control officers took down an injured deer after it smashed a plate-glass window at the Ford Motor Co. Product Development Center, 20800 Oakwood, about 1 p.m. Oct. 12.
After a brief pursuit, the officers were able to corral the deer using a dog noose at the bottom of a 40-foot stairwell. Because the deer was bleeding profusely and because of the danger the injured animal posed to humans, it was sedated and then destroyed, police said.

Armed robber decides $11 not worth it
An attempted armed robbery at Unique Super Tan, 20232 Van Born Road, Oct. 12 came to an unusual conclusion when the robber apparently decided that the $11 in the business’ cash register was not worth taking.
An employee told police the man entered the store and said he needed to tan. He then grabbed her by the wrist and told her to give him all the money in the business, she said. As he was restraining her, the employee noticed a knife slightly protruding from his shirtsleeve, she said.
When she presented him with the $11 from the cash register he said he wanted more. When she said it had been a slow night and that the $11 was all she had, the suspect released her and fled without taking the money.
