What a guy
8:58 a.m. — 500 block of North Spoonbill Drive. Leash Law. A homeowner was watching her dog in her front yard, when a woman and man walked by in the street with their dog. The front-yard dog went into the street to see the other dog, and the man kicked it. The homeowner rushed out to confront the man and then called police. The man told an officer that he was protecting his dog and that the other dog frequently leaves its front yard and harasses him. The officer told the man to avoid the other dog owner, and he told the homeowner to keep her dog on a leash.
