A 66-year-old Villages softball player has hired a former prosecutor to defend him in an alleged golf cart path rage incident.
Robert “Mike” Arseneau, who lives on Bermudez Court in the Haciendas of Mission Hills, is facing felony charges of assault and battery after he allegedly on Sept. 11 threatened a fellow Villager with a baseball bat when tempers flared on a golf cart path.
This past week in Sumter County Court, Arseneau entered a written plea of not guilty to charges of assault on a person over the age of 65, battery on a person over the age of 65, and criminal mischief with damage to property.
Arseneau has retained Tavares attorney Cary F. Rada, who was an assistant state attorney in Lake County from 1995 to 2002.
