Harried students making the trek between Science Library and Weshop on Wednesday night were in for a shock. A deer head was spotted at the base of a stop sign between Exley Science Center and Clark Hall, and four Middletown police cars gathered at the scene. The deer head was placed in a plastic bag and taken away by the police. Some students had expressed suspicions about the involvement of the residents of a house on Home Ave., given reports of a venison feast at the house made from a found deer carcass. In an interview with Wesleying, a resident of the house denied that members of the house were involved.

According to Director of Public Safety (PSafe) Dave Meyer, PSafe arrived after the Middletown police. The head itself appears to be stuffed, with no signs of butchery. Currently, neither PSafe nor the Middletown Police Department have identified the source of the deer head, and they do not suspect foul play.
