Belleville resident Mark Page and his wife were sleeping on Saturday when the sound of breaking glass and - was that hooves? - woke them up.
Page went downstairs to find a large buck in the kitchen with its head in the sink. He says he looked at the animal for "not even a fraction of a second" before turning tail and heading back upstairs, according to KSDK-TV.
The animal also was spooked and barreled through a closed window to escape. Page says the deer jumped through a different window to get into his home. He says the animal was injured, but police couldn't find it.
