Photos: Deer Makes Itself Right At Home For Thanksgiving In Easton Police had to take care of a breaking and entering case on Thanksgiving Day in Fairfield County, but it was quickly solved. A deer jumped through a large picture window of an Easton home on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 28. Once inside, the deer couldn't seem to find its way back out and wandered around the home since no one was on hand to offer some help.  After wandering around inside the house for about a half-hour, the deer was able to be shooed back outside by officers. Luckily, the deer didn't do much damage and was not injured.
