Teen Drove Golf Cart Into Creek While Playing Golf: Orange PD

ORANGE, CT — A Milford teen is accused of crashing a golf cart into a creek at a country club in Orange, police said. Police say officers responded to the Orange Hill Country Club at 389 Racebrook Road regarding a disturbance earlier this month.

Officers learned that a group of four golfers had been acting unruly on the course, and at one point, they crashed a golf cart into a creek located on the property, police said in a news release.

After the cart crashed, all four attempted to flee the course, but were stopped by course employees, police said. It was determined that the arrestee, Cooper Rivera, 19, of Milford, was the one who drove the cart into the creek, police said. He was subsequently taken into custody and charged with third-degree criminal mischief.

He was released on a $400 bond.
