Crack Cocaine And Baby Deer Found On A Shoplifting Suspect In Manahawkin

Well, let's get you started, over in Mays Landing, and this crazy, whacked-out story begins with a shoplifter who was busted with crack cocaine and also a BABY DEER!

Stafford police were called to a Shoprite located at 297 on Route 72 West, on June 1st just around 6 pm on a suspicious person who had a reusable bag, and when police questioned him they found a lot more than expected according to shorenewsnetwork.com

At first, he lied about who he was, and then the police looked down at his reusable bag, that's when a baby deer, or fawn, popped its head out.

At that point, the police told the suspect that he was detained for illegal possession of a deer, and then he tried to run off on foot but didn't get far.

I'm guessing he thought he was as fast as a deer, but when you're smoking crack cocaine you probably think that you are. So don't do drugs and let's leave Bambi alone.

After the police got him under arrest and control they came to find out the suspect was identified as 23-year-old Matthew Keithley from Mays Landing, New Jersey. Once the search started on Matt's stuff that's when the police found the crack cocaine.

Keithley was found in possession of suspected crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Also other rundowns of Matt they came to find out that he had two outstanding warrants for his arrest in Atlantic County.

He has been charged with illegal possession of a deer, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest by flight, and providing false information to a law enforcement officer. Here is some good news about the story the baby deer was released back to the wild.
