Golf carts – the one you’re dad probably uses to get from one area to the next on the golf course – are really, really slow rides. No one expects them to run like the supped up Honda your neighbor is driving. That’s what the police thought as well when they attempted to run after Trev Dawson. Oh, how wrong they were.

So what was the reason for going after Trev Dawson? Well, he and his friends were found drinking and “doing donuts” in Morgan City Park. As a backgrounder, “doing donuts” isn’t some sick, perverse way of eating one. It’s when you make your car spin in circles by rotating the rear or front of your vehicle around its opposite set of wheels.

Since doing it in Morgan City Park is a big no-no, police tried to apprehend him. But instead of using a fast getaway vehicle, Dawson instead sped away in a supped up golf cart. According to reports, the police tried to give chase but were unsuccessful in their attempt.

But even though the police weren’t able to catch up with him at Morgan City Park, they were still able to arrest him since Dawson already had a previous record with them. This is what the police used to arrest him after finding him in his grandma’s house.

I guess the lesson here is, don’t underestimate the power of a supped up golf cart. And a close second would be, never stay in the address you indicated during your previous arrest if you don’t want to get caught again.
