Too Much Alcohol For Joliet Golfer At Woodruff Course: JPD

JOLIET — A 43-year-old Homer Glen man who went golfing on Sunday at the Joliet Park District's 18-hole Woodruff Golf Course now finds himself facing three criminal charges.

The behavior of Jonathan Healy at Woodruff resulted in three charges, theft, reckless and DUI, the arrest reports show.

Joliet police spokesman Dwayne English said that at 6:41 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to the Woodruff Golf Course at 621 North Gougar Road for a theft.

The officers learned that a man drove a golf cart off the property without the authority of the Joliet Park District, English said.

Further investigation indicated that after consuming alcohol at the golf course bar, the man, later identified as Healy, was seen driving a golf cart off the property northbound on Gougar Road, followed by a truck, according to English.

A park district employee saw Healy drive the golf cart to the 3100 block of Edgecreek Drive and then watched as Healy entered the passenger seat of the truck and left the area, police said. The employee returned the cart to the golf course and called 911.

Officers travelled to Healy’s residence in Homer Glen with the assistance of the Will County Sheriff Office to speak to Healy. While speaking with the officers, Healy indicated he consumed alcohol at the golf course, and he demonstrated behaviors indicating possible alcohol impairment, Joliet police said.

Healy was placed into custody without incident.
