GLOSTER, Miss. (AP) -- When Mississippi Soap Co. owner Greg Touchstone got a call at home about a break-in at his store, it sounded sinister: broken glass and a trail of blood. But police followed the blood to the bathroom where they found a buck deer, very much alive.

``It was shocking,'' said policeman Tyrone Green. ``I think the deer was scared, and I was scared, too.''

Touchstone got a call at 7:30 p.m. Sunday that his business had been vandalized and the front plate glass window was broken. His father-in-law, Robert Bateman, arrived at the store before Touchstone and, along with Green, found a trail of blood leading from the front of the store to the bathroom in the back.
