Deer known as 'Jughead' rescued in Indiana

Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Authorities in Indiana said a deer known to locals as "Jughead" was freed from the plastic jug stuck over its head.

The deer had been spotted on multiple occasions in Cannelton with the plastic jug stuck on its head, leading locals to nickname the animal Jughead.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said in a Facebook post Friday that Officers Zac Howerton and Neal Brewington worked together with Perry County Sheriff's Deputy Marsh and local man Jimmy Maffia to track down and tranquilize the deer.

Jughead was released back into the wild once the jug was removed.
