A Village of Belle Aire man has been ticketed as the result of a golf cart accident Nov. 17 on the multi-modal path leading to the Lake Sumter bridge.
John Verville, 67, was transported to the Villages Regional Hospital following the collision between his cart and a cart carrying Ray and Laura Bowen of the Village of La Zamora. They escaped injury.
He was ticketed on a charge of careless driving. The ticket was not immediately issued due to Verville’s injuries.
Verville had been arrested earlier this year on a charge of driving under the influence when he was pulled over in his golf cart. Verville told the deputy who arrested him that he was on a run to NYPD Pizza.
On March 10 in Sumter County Court, Verville was placed on one year’s probation and ordered to perform 50 hours of community service in connection with that case.
