Anne Arundel County police said Corporal Sears received a call around 8:30 a.m. for a report of an injured deer at Peninsula Park.
When Sears arrived, he saw the deer in distress with its antlers stuck in the soccer net.
Sears used shears to cut off the netting and freed the deer within a few minutes. The deer wasn’t injured in the ordeal and was released to safety.
