A man playing on an Indiana golf course found himself in jail after allegedly attacking another golfer, who was hospitalized with serious injuries.
On the afternoon of September 20, a 54-year-old man was at the Links at Heartland Crossing golf course in Camby with a group of people. After they completed the first nine, they went to get something to eat. There was a group of people behind them consisting of two men and a woman, and when they finished the ninth, they continued to the tenth. When the 54-year-old went back to the course and saw that the group skipped ahead of his party, he believed it was in poor form. He reportedly went up to the woman in their group and gave her a piece of his mind by making derogatory remarks and calling her a c***.
When the woman’s 34-year-old husband found out about the alleged encounter, he tried to get the man to apologize for the vulgar exchange with his wife. When he would not do so, the man allegedly began striking him in the face and then threw him on the ground.
The authorities were notified, and the alleged victim, who suffered from multiple injuries, was in an ambulance. It was reported that he sustained a deep cut on his forehead that required several stitches, seven of his ribs and a piece of vertebrae in his back were broken, and one of his lungs was punctured.
The suspect was taken into custody and booked into the Morgan County Jail. He is facing preliminary charges of felony aggravated battery, felony battery, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct. He was released after posting bond.
