In a scene straight out of a buddy cop movie, Fairfield police said two officers recently bagged a burglary suspect by chasing him down on a borrowed golf cart.
At 4:34 p.m. last Thursday, police received a call regarding an unknown man in the backyard of a residence in the 3600 block of Doral Drive.According to a Fairfield Police Department social media post Wednesday, Officer Josh Smith and Sgt. Franco Cesar anticipated the route the burglar might use to flee and stationed themselves on a nearby trail, where they soon encountered a man matching the suspect's description.
The suspect, later identified as 36-year-old Michael Salcedo of Fairfield, saw the officers and ran away through a nearby golf course. As Salcedo allegedly got further ahead of the pair entering the busy driving range, Cesar asked Smith if he knew how to drive a golf cart. The pair then asked a nearby golfer if they could use their cart for police business.The officers caught up with Salcedo, who was arrested and booked into Solano County jail.
"The golf cart was summarily returned to its rightful owner," said police, who thanked the golfer who loaned them the cart in the name of justice.
