Dispatcher Brianna Arnett called the Minnesota Raptor Center to see what should be done. The center tried to locate a volunteer to pick up the injured eagle, but In the meantime, Deputy Milne went to the scene and got the eagle using his jacket.

He brought the bird back to St. Cloud, where Dispatcher Arnett volunteered to drive the eagle to the Raptor Center. The sheriff’s office says there is no word on the eagle’s condition. Officials hope to get an update next week.
