According to police, an unknown person drove onto private property at the corner of County Rd. 1140 and County Rd. 120 early Sunday, October 20.
"This irresponsible and careless person caused extensive damage to the property and ran over the property owner’s beautiful horse who had been a family member for over 22 years," authorities said in a Facebook post.
