Police say a drunken New York man struck a deer with his vehicle, then tried driving the injured animal to a nearby hospital — for humans.
Police say 29-year-old Andrew Caswell hit the deer early Monday in the suburban Rochester town of Greece. They say Caswell and three companions argued over what to do with it before Caswell decided the deer needed to go to the hospital.
An officer who pulled the car over discovered the deer was in the vehicle’s trunk and had died.
Police say Caswell’s blood-alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit. Caswell’s phone number couldn’t be located Thursday.
Police Chief Todd Baxter tells the Democrat and Chronicle that while trying to save the deer was commendable, “driving while intoxicated will not be tolerated.”

You know, because that's the first thing doctors do after pulling something out of somebody: see if it still works. Apparently the woman was using the pen to push down her tongue while checking out tonsils back in 1986. She stumbled while stretching to look in the mirror, and managed to swallow the pen in the process. The pen didn't cause any discomfort, so eventually she simply forgot about it.

A Michigan woman may not have expected that new-car smell when she bought a used vehicle, but says she certainly didn't expect the odor of a dead body. In a lawsuit filed in Oakland County Circuit Court, Margarita Salais of New Baltimore alleges the dealership's staff sold her a 2006 Ford Expedition last March without telling her it once held a dead body. "They bought the car while it was still cold out in March," her attorney said. "The warmer it got, the worse the smell got." Salais said when she brought the car back to the dealership someone told her the smell came from a dead animal. She said she filed a claim with her insurance company, whose investigators determined odor was of human origin. The insurance company later learned the car had been stolen three times, something Salais said the dealer also failed to tell her. Her efforts to return the car were fruitless and now she wants $25,000 plus court fees.
