Groom a la (golf) cart: Newlywed, best man, stopped for riding drunk in stolen golf cart

CBS

(CBS/AP) CANONSBURG, Pa. - Police say they pulled over a groom and his best man as they drove in a stolen golf cart from a western Pennsylvania country club wedding reception to a hotel.

Peters Township police Chief Harry Fruecht tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review newspaper that Rolling Hills Country Club opted not to press charges for the wedding day off-the-links hijinks on Saturday.

The men were pulled over when an officer saw them driving a cart without headlights in the curb lane of a busy road just before midnight.

The police chief says the men wanted to arrive at the hotel in the golf cart to surprise the other wedding guests, who took a shuttle.

Instead, they both got arrested "a la cart." The pals will have memories of being cited for disorderly conduct and ticketed for public drunkenness.
