This park has become popular with unleashed dogs. I see unleashed dogs just about every time I'm there.

His name is Louis Rivera....FYI.

The jerk's name is Louis Rivera. According to his Facebook profile, he works at the Dark Horse. Facebook has exploded with tales of his past angry attitudes and hostile behavior.

He's not the only dog owner acting like an ass in a public park. There's a definite segment of dog owners who seem to think they have priority in public parks, leave dog crap everywhere, allow their illegally unleashed dogs to accost other park users and leashed dogs, and generally ruin the park experience for others.

How scary for that lady! I am glad that she had the guts to make him mad. :)
Unleashed dogs are a huge problem at the O4W Skate park field. There needs to be a dedicated fenced area. Are there any "dog owner groups" that could get together and build/coordinate something? We too always encounter dogs running all over chasing kids and their balls/frisbees, etc. Dogs need to be able to run so they keep in shape and have less tendency to suffer from anxiety when at home. Also we can not get poop bag stations set up fast enough. There is sooo much dog poo everywhere already.

I think he should be publicly shamed and held accountable for his poor and threatening behavior. I hope that you publish his name in a follow up story. He made the park an unsafe environment and clearly presented himself in a threatening manner. Horray for the Mom who took the video and how brave of her. Unfortunately, it calls attention to the dog owners who are not responsible... and to those who who think the rules don't apply to them/ their dog. Well, this man is about to learn a lesson that the rules DO apply and actions have consequences. Someone knows him. I hope he is caught and punished.

Can't watch vid on an iPhone - ******groan******

His mommy didn't give him enough hugs.

He's been identified and apparently has made many enemies.

According to our Old Fourth Ward Patrol, the man has been identified. On the youtube comments someone also named him and said he works at Dark Horse Tavern. But that has not been confirmed.

Does anyone know what he could be charged with and what kind of fine/punishment he might face?

He has nasty stuff on his facebook page. A sick and sad individual.

I had a run-in with this jackass over at the Small Dog Park in Piedmont Park last fall. He and his 2 dogs (who are clearly not *small* dogs) were in the fenced area by themselves. As I started to enter the gate, he yelled at me and said he didn't think it was a good idea that I enter the gate because his dogs were anti-social. When I countered back that he was in the wrong area (his dogs were over the maximum weight limit for the Small Dog Area) his reply was that he gets to the park early enough so there won't be anyone there & that people like me with small dogs will just have to wait until his dogs have finished running around. I was there at 9:30am - not particularly early in my opinion, and there were other small dog owners who were attempting to use the park too. He intimidated all of us and I commend the woman at O4W skate park to stand up to him. He's a scary dude! I feel sorry for his dogs.

Wait a minute — if the pit bulls had attacked this woman, they'd be put down, and there would be an outcry in the media. This guy's dogs were better behaved than he was.

Channel 2 noon news reported his name as Louis Rivera and that he has been arrested.

I have noticed that there is a large population of dog owners that are extremely responsible and have taken lots of time to socially train their dogs. There is always that ONE owner that ruins it for all the great dog owners. I am glad this psycho has been called out. Such abrasive behavior is just un called for. :( I am glad that there is a group wanting a dog fenced area. It is a win win. :) http://www.o4wbark.com/

you people need to get a life. His pups would NEVER hurt anyone or any dog. You people put a stigma on the breed, Its the owners that mistreat and train their dogs to be aggressive. His dogs are sweethearts.. If you tried to film me I wouldnt slap the phone but I would make you erase it or pay me for my image. U have NO right to film anyone no matter what they are doing.. GET A LIFE

whats not on film is probably how this "woman" harrassed him leading up to this event.. He would have just walked away... I know this

what also is not on this file is the children’s play ground about 10 feet to the right. I don’t care if you have a 5 lb lap dog, they should be leashed around children. its common sense. Pits are great dogs. But its never a great idea to have free roaming dogs around children. And to have the entitlement to say "i was here first" in a public park is weak.

Mike g, is your middle name really Louis Rivera? On a related topic, this guy has been arrested multiple times I'm the past year and it took the news and social media campaign to identify him?? Yikes.

*in

Okay here is the video link in case you are on a phone like so many of us today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HvYSPOZ1B94
