Are people in Florida sane? I've heard so many crazy stories about people from Florida, what the hell happened to that place? One crazy story after another, it's like another New York now.
A
golfer in Florida is accused of attacking a fellow player for playing too slow and now faces charges over the alleged assault.
Jason Hughes was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, according to
Fox 35.
The incident happened in June at a golf course in Kissimmee,
Florida, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. Hughes later told deputies that he was upset with the pace of the victim’s play.
The man said he and Hughes exchanged words on the course. The victim was playing with a friend in front of Hughes, who told them more than once to hurry up, according to the report. Many slower golfers will let those playing faster move ahead of them at a hole.
Hughes got angry when he saw the victim talking to his friend on the green of a hole, according to the report.
That is when Hughes allegedly attacked and started to punch the victim in the face. Witnesses broke up the fight and Hughes and his partner fled the scene before authorities arrived, according to the report.
