He said he's been cited as his dog isn't suppose to be in the park. He says he tries to keep it just outside the park's perimeter. He said he's been robbed before so Lucky is a good watch dog. He said a police officer just told him to move all his belongings away from the two utility boxes (in back of him) as some utility people will be fixing them and the warning siren that is next tot he boxes, later in the late afternoon.
