Employees of the Democrat-Herald received a surprise visit Tuesday morning from a wandering blacktail deer. Pictured are Cathy Ingalls, left, Cheryl Surendra and Gregg Burgess. Albany police chased the deer around downtown for some time, eventually using a Tazer in an attempt to stop the animal. The deer pulled free of the Tazer probes, however, and continued running, eventually making its way toward the river. Officers lost sight of the deer at Water Avenue and Main Street.
