Security responded to Hedgewood Lane on Monday, February 26, for a report of a suspicious person. The resident advised that a man had knocked on her door and claimed to be an insurance adjuster needing papers signed for a recent accident. However, the resident stated she had not been in an accident. She provided a description of the man, and upon further investigation, Security was able to identify him as a process server. The resident was informed of the findings.

Unlicensed Golf Cart Operation

On Saturday, February 24, Security made contact with a golf cart in The Landings Association’s parking lot, which was driven by what appeared to be an unlicensed driver. The driver of the cart stated he was 13 years old. The Officer explained the rules to the young man and advised that he could not allow him to drive the cart home. The boy’s father was contacted and arrived on scene to take possession of the golf cart. The rules also were explained to the father. There was a previous warning issued for the same infraction, so a $100 citation was issued for operating a golf cart without a driver’s license.
