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)

1. How did a 21 year old even get into The Villages,

I thought you had to be old, white and a registered Trumpie.

3. The Resistance is alive

I read a few days back that there's going to be a Harris supporter golf cart parade, later this week!

6. Thought they

did that last weekend. Saw videos of it here on DU. Suppose they could be planning another one.

5. Maybe visiting

grandparents? Maybe works there?

2. These stories usually begin with "Florida Man..."

So anything that follows is graded on a curve.
In this case, I imagine he was just the first one to do it this week. hahaha

4. I just can't get that hilarious image of the cart taking to the grass to drive around a police car in the road out of

my mind.
