3 Massachusetts golfers arrested for violating Rhode Island coronavirus quarantine order: police1Richmond police say the three duffers went to elaborate lengths to hide their identities as out-of-towners so they could get in a round of golf at the Meadow Brook Golf Course in town on Wednesday.
Gregory Corbett, 51, Tyler Pietrzyk, 22, and Nye Cameron, 22, were apprehended at a nearby McDonald’s restaurant, where police say the men changed cars to drive to the club in a vehicle with Rhode Island license plates, the Attleboro Sun Chronicle reported Friday.
Cops issued the three men summonses for violating the quarantine when they drove back from the golf course to their vehicles at the McDonald’s in the vehicle with the Rhode Island plates, the paper reported.
Employees at the McDonald’s ratted them out.
In a related story, 1 Ontario golfer (sic) arrested for violating Humber River environmental protection order: police.
“He consciously hit 80 golf balls into the river thus severely damaging the delicate eco system,” affirmed the policeman who answered a call from a distraught former Scarlett Woods marshall and general factotum who happened to be passing by.
The golfer (sic), in his defense, said he was practicing and the shots unintentionally went into the Humber. ‘I was perfecting my slice to perfection.’
“There isn’t a jury in the world that would believe someone, who calls himself a golfer (sic), could possibly hit 80 consecutive balls in the water,” continued the police sergeant. ‘I suggested he slow down his swing as I slipped on the cuffs.’
Trying to avoid the arrest, the golfer (sic) showed the officer his ‘Get out of jail free’ card which he always carries with him. The officer, after checking with headquarters, dismissed the well worn piece of ID but did, after the golfer’s (sic) knees-on-the-ground incessant pleading, call the Lakeview golf club.
After a lengthy animated conversation, the policeman reluctantly took off the cuffs and let the golfer (sic) go, explaining, “They know the guy, Don Dally. They said he’s legit, tries hard but can’t stay dry. The Lakeview pro went on to explain they have water on the 18th hole there and this guy personally has made the water level rise. They confirmed he’s taking lessons to learn to slice the ball away from the water and safely into the woods.”
