Colts DT Arrested on Suspicion of Driving Stolen Golf Cart While Drunk

A street-legal golf cart theft could probably only happen in Florida or Arizona, as NFL player David Parry demonstrated during an alleged (low-speed) drunken rampage through the desert.

The Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman was arrested last weekend in Scottsdale, Ariz., on suspicion of robbery, auto theft, criminal damage, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence. A "transportation cart" driver claims that the second-year player hit him in the head and jacked his golf cart, according to the Indianapolis Star:

"The victim told officers he had picked up three people from a downtown bar in his "transportation cart" — a street-legal golf cart police say was used as a taxi — and had dropped two of them off. When he got out of the cart to collect payment, the victim told police the third person, later identified as Parry, hit him on the head and left the scene in the cart.

Police were later called to a hit and run collision nearby, where responding officers found the golf cart crashed into a gate. Officers later found Parry on the sidewalk, apparently drunk, according to police."

It's hard to imagine someone stealing a golf cart if he or she weren't drunk, so that part checks out.

Drafted in the fifth round out of Stanford in 2015, Parry has been a mainstay on the Colts line, starting every game over his first two seasons. He racked up 34 tackles and 3.0 sacks in 2016. A spokesperson for the Colts said the organization is aware of the incident and are investigating.
