CITRUS PARK - A new dog park on Monterey Boulevard within the Logan Gate Village subdivision was closed recently after a patrol car smashed through three of its fences.

John Brill, spokesman for the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, said last week that repairs would cost about $2,800 to $3,200.

Brill estimated repairs would take about a week.

Meanwhile, the two nearest dog parks available for use are the West Park Dog Park at 6402 Occident Road in Town 'N Country and Carolyn Meeker Dog Park at 102 First Ave. SW in Lutz.

The Logan Gate dog park was damaged during an incident Jan. 10 involving a patrol car that smashed gates and about 150 to 200 feet of fence.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office reported that Walter John Brois III, 36, of Tampa, was stopped that evening for speeding and doing wheelies on a motorcycle.

After pepper-spraying deputies, Brois stole a patrol car and dragged a deputy for about 75 feet before driving through three fences, a sheriff's office report says.
Brois was arrested a few days later in Pinellas Park. He faces charges including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and grand theft of a motor vehicle, jail records show.
