CLEARWATER A crash at Belcher Road and Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard closed eastbound lanes of Gulf-to-Bay for nearly 90 minutes Thursday morning. Adam Brood, 22, of Clearwater was driving east on Gulf-to-Bay about 8:15 a.m., Clearwater Police said. His 2003 Acura ran a red light and collided with a 2002 Nissan driven by Ronald Borucki, 76, of Clearwater, police said. Borucki was going south on Belcher Road and trying to make a left turn onto Gulf-to-Bay. Brood's passenger, Alicia Archibald, 20, of Palm Harbor and Borucki's wife, Rosalie Borucki, 78, were hurt. All four were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. Brood faces charges of DUI with injuries and property damage, possession of Oxycodone, possession of Xanax and possession of marijuana, police said. He was being held at the Pinellas County Jail on Thursday in lieu of $10,250 bail. LARGO Animal cruelty sentence delivered George Hale, who was charged with six counts of animal cruelty after five horses and a donkey were rescued from his Largo farm, was sentenced to six months in jail Thursday, court records show. Hale, 40, pleaded no contest to the charges. He received five years probation and was ordered to pay $10,000 in fines. The horses and donkey were starved and living in deplorable conditions when they were rescued in August. All of the animals have now been rehabilitated, and all have found new homes except for a horse named Promise. To learn more about Promise, go to www.SPCATampaBay.com.
