Suspect Chased Down By Deputy On A Golf Cart

Is that embarrassing, or what?

I mean what are you going to say to your cell mates, “yeah, I was chased down by a cop on a golf cart?! ”

That’s the way it goes for 25 yr old Jeremiah Ellarius Haynes, who was running from police in Florida.  Haynes, who was wanted on battery charges, led police on a 1.8 mile chase before he was caught.

Police responded to a domestic battery call in Lehigh Acres, when the suspect took off on foot.  Lee County Sheriff’s Deputy Richard Williamson chased Haynes to a nearby gated community, where a resident at the gate loaned the deputy a golf cart.  When the deputy finally caught up to the suspect, he tazed him, when the man tried to escape again.

My question is, exactly how slow must this guy have been to be run down by a golf cart? Granted I’m not a golfer, but I don’t think they can travel very fast.

I imagine the incident happening kind of like a scene from Paul Blart Mall Cop.
