Deer Carcass Found in Restaurant Freezer

Police in Pineville, Louisiana,

launched an investigation into a local restaurant after finding a deer carcass,

believed to be Roadkill,

stored in a Aston,

freezer right next to food,

men for customers.

It all started with a viral social media post,

showing people's skinning an animal behind the place.

On April 21st, officers hit the scene on Cottingham Expressway

and confirmed the deer looked like fresh roadside pickup.

The restaurant, China Queen,

posted a note on the door,

owning up to the mess.

They said the deer was never for serving, just stored wrong,

and they've cleaned everything, fixed procedures,

and are teaming with health officials.

Cops brought in the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,

plus the Department of Health to handle their angles on the probe.

Public tips made this possible,

and authorities are calling on folks to keep reporting shady stuff

so they can shut it down quick.

Eyes wide open, yo.
