Picture this: It’s a sunny Tuesday afternoon in Florida and you’re on the golf course just after 1 p.m. You just grabbed a hot dog at the turn so life is pretty good. Next thing you know you’re standing over your ball and an SUV comes flying down the middle of the fairway with police in pursuit.
To quote Shooter McGavin: “How am I supposed to chip with that going on, Doug?”
That was a very real situation earlier this week in Vero Beach, Florida, where Indian River County deputies charged 60-year-old Jodie Ann Harvey with DUI and assault after she drove through Grand Harbor golf course. The pursuit was caught on police dashcam and nobody was injured despite a few close encounters on the course.
Indian River County officers attempted to pull Harvey over, which led to a pursuit through a gate and on to a golf course. Harvey’s charges include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, DUI, two felony counts of criminal mischief, aggravated fleeing to elude and aggravated assault on an officer/firefighter/EMT.
