In April, prosecutors filed a second-degree-assault charge against a man, Richard Ponds, accused of using a golf cart to run down and strike a fellow golfer at Wellshire Golf Course. The victim told police he got into an argument with Ponds because he was sitting in a cart in the middle of the course despite being done playing golf. According to an arrest warrant, Ponds then drove the cart “full speed” at the victim, who said he tried unsuccessfully to dive out of the way; then Ponds kept driving toward the course’s parking lot.
