SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. — A 21-year-old man was arrested early Friday for drunkenly driving a golf cart and leading deputies on a chase in The Villages, the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office said.

Officials said that shortly after 1 a.m., deputies saw a red golf cart traveling eastbound on County Road 466 near the Oak Hammock Path.

Deputies said Christopher Esdale was driving the golf cart in the middle of the roadway -- which is not an approved roadway for golf carts -- when they tried to stop him several times.

Investigators said that they stopped their patrol car in front of the golf cart and Esdale drove onto the grass to drive around the patrol car. .............(more)

In this case, I imagine he was just the first one to do it this week. hahaha
