Deer Meets Skylight In Rice Lumber Solarium

A five point deer fell through a skylight at Rice Lumber Co after pawing across the roof. Employee Lyn Scoggins found the animal in the solarium, bloodied its nose, and the owner estimated $1,000 in repairs. The deer slipped through an insulated glass door while trying to flee.
