Man Brought to Justice after High Speed Chase (Ha! in a Golf Cart)

Monday, October 20th, 2008

DATELINE! Salt Lake! When evading the authorities, meets leisure sport activity. The Associated Press is reporting that a Utah man has been apprehended after leading police on a high speed chase in a golf cart…

“Officers started pursuing the driver after he was spotted spinning out in a city park in Morgan. He took off into an alfalfa field and jumped irrigation ditches that the sheriff’s cruisers couldn’t cross. Morgan County Sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Peay suspects the cart was fitted with a car engine instead of the original electric motor. “

Suspects? He jumped multiple ditches!

I’ll stay on the case (not really) to see what, if anything, this guy gets charged with – improper handling of a motor vehicle within 100 yards of irrigation technology? unlawful destruction of a legume crop?
