HAYDEN, Idaho -- The prancing and pawing of each little hoof came from the trunk, not the roof.

That's what police in northern Idaho heard when they were helping a man try to get his car unstuck from a ditch early Sunday morning.

When a Kootenai County Sheriff's deputy opened the trunk, he found a live and still-kicking doe that had been hit by the car.

The driver told deputies he had put the deer in the trunk and planned to release it in another location.

The severely injured deer was shot by the deputy and driver was arrested on charges of drunken driving.
