Brookline man bogeys in Boston: Arrested for driving stolen golf cart down Beacon Street

Boston Police report officers were immediately suspicious when they saw some guy puttering along in a golf cart around 1 a.m. today on Beacon Street near Clarendon in the Back Bay:

When officers asked the operator why he was driving a golf cart on a public roadway, the operator stated he was doing work for a construction company. Not convinced, the officers posed the question a second time. To which, the suspect stated, "I'm out doing a survey. What the (expletive) is it to you?"

Eventually, police say, the officers established Thomas Wright, 45, had simply taken one of the carts left outside Boston City Hall by organizers of yesterday's Hub on Wheels event. Since Boston has yet to set up its golf-cart-sharing program, Wright was arrested on a charge of larceny over $250, police say.

Innocent, etc.
