Fast-thinking members of the Harford County Sheriff's Office got creative on the links and were able to apprehend a wanted suspect using a golf cart they commandeered.
On Wednesday, Oct. 22, deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a stolen vehicle, which quickly turned into a brief pursuit, officials said. The car ultimately stopped along the Bel Air bypass after deputies deployed stop sticks, disabling the car.
Then things took a turn.
According to the sheriff's office, the driver and passenger of the stolen car then ran on foot through Annie’s Playground and eventually toward a local golf course.
