A month later almost to the day after officials say a local teenager shot and killed a deer at Kenny's Korral petting zoo, the owner is dealt another blow of bad luck.
Around three Tuesday morning, 50-year-old Douglas Pierson drove his suburban onto Kenny's property slamming through several fences. After crashing the suburban, Pierson stole a truck from a barn area, ramming that through two more fences before finally driving away. As you can imagine, this rampage left the owner with thousands of dollars in property damage.
Kenny Ellis, Kenny's Korral Owner:
"Never worry about theft because when you've got a 7 foot fence and then electronic gates on everything, my gosh, I never thought about something like this ever happening. Bad luck, I guess...just bad luck."
Pierson later called authorities to tell them what he had done. Officials won't say why he did it, only that Lubbock District Attorney's will now decide what charges he will face.
