PASADENA - An Orange County man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI after he allegedly swiped a golf cart from the Rose Bowl and drove on the 210 Freeway Thursday night, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP got a call at 10:47 p.m. about a golf cart on the freeway, eastbound from Lake Avenue. A caller reported the cart exited at Hill Avenue.
CHP Sgt. Michael Munoz said an officer spotted the cart and its sole occupant on Corson Street, just west of Hill Avenue.
The driver was in town for the game, the sergeant said.
?He admitted he took it from the Rose Bowl,? Munoz said, adding that the cart sported Rose Bowl stickers on the side.
Why the man decided to go for a spin on the freeway isn?t known.
