MONKTON — Michael Deforge, 30, of Essex Junction was working a security detail on the Monkton-Vergennes Road in Monkton early Wednesday morning when he noticed a truck stop for a deer that was crossing the road.
The driver of the truck rolled down their window, and took an illegal shot at the deer. He missed his target, and instead the shot hit Deforge’s vehicle.

Deforge was uninjured and able to provide the State Police with a description of the truck involved.
The police are searching for the vehicle, and all leads are currently being followed up on.
