Kidnap reported at Pearl golf club

Advertiser Staff

A 50-year-old man said he was kidnapped at gunpoint yesterday while golfing at Pearl Country Club.

Police said the confrontation occurred at about 4 p.m. on the first hole. The golfer said a man jumped over the fence and asked for a ride to the parking lot in his golf cart. The golfer agreed but when he continued to play out the hole, the stranger took a handgun out of a briefcase and ordered him into the cart.

Once in the parking lot, the victim was forced into his pickup truck and ordered to drive the gunman to nearby housing complex. The gunman fled without taking anything.

The suspect may have been involved in a burglary near the golf course in which a handgun was stolen, police said.
