Allegedly driving a golf cart containing empty beer cans down Highway 22 had led to the arrest of a Lone Tree man.

Johnson County Sheriff’s deputies received multiple reports of a possibly-intoxicated male driving a golf cart on the 4700 block of Highway 22, between Lone Tree and River Junction, just before 6pm on July 10th. Investigators say the driver, 80-year-old Larry Wrede of North Devoe Street, admitted to drinking and had several empty beer cans inside the cart. However, his breath alcohol level was measured at .000%.

Wrede is barred from driving, and he was arrested and charged with Driving While Barred. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in jail.
