After getting advice from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), the trooper moved the fawn off the road and into the grass to be found by its mother.
The trooper is heard telling other law enforcement officers that ODNR said the mother was probably in the area looking for food.
Anyone who may see something in the road that shouldn’t be there is asked to call #677 to be connected to the closest OSHP post.
