The drummer for conservative rocker Ted Nugent was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving under the influence after he allegedly stole a golf cart and fled from police in Bangor, Maine.
According to the Bangor Maine Police Departments Facebook page, Mick Brown, 55, stole a golf cart that was being used by event staff at Bangors waterfront pavilion after a concert featuring Nugent, Styx and REO Speedwagon.
Several people had attempted to stop him but he sped away and was last seen operating the golf cart on the foot path by the Sea Dog restaurant, the report says. Officer Jordan reported that about a minute later he observed the golf cart with two women also on board near the Railroad Street grade crossing. As they attempted to stop Brown, he accelerated past them, past a third officer and when a security officer got close enough to stop him, Brown allegedly shoved the officer.
At that point two other security officers physically removed Brown from the cart and placed him on the ground. He was arrested.

I will gladly take his word for it, but he must issue a statement.

one still under the cart, significantly so. Heh, did the insurance adjuster TOTAL the traffic cone? Really, how far will some reporters go to dramatize a small time story?
