Florida man arrested after beating up fellow golfer for playing too slow: cops
Jason Hughes was arrested Thursday and charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, according to Fox 35.
The incident happened in June at a golf course in Kissimmee, Florida, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. Hughes later told deputies that he was upset with the pace of the victim's play.
The man said he and Hughes exchanged words on the course. The victim was playing with a friend in front of Hughes, who told them more than once to hurry up, according to the report. Many slower golfers will let those playing faster move ahead of them at a hole.
Hughes got angry when he saw the victim talking to his friend on the green of a hole, according to the report.
That is when Hughes allegedly attacked and started to punch the victim in the face. Witnesses broke up the fight and Hughes and his partner fled the scene before authorities arrived, according to the report.
The victim was bleeding and bruised when police arrived. He later went to the hospital with a friend.
Authorities tracked down Hughes through the credit card he used to pay for his tee time, according to Fox 35.
Hughes was in court Friday and given a $2,500 bond. As part of his bail conditions, he is not allowed to play golf on a public course.

Her Husband Began an Affair with His Best Friend's Widow — That's When She Began to Suspect Something Far Worse (Exclusive Clip)
Kathy Aldredge tells PEOPLE about the nearly two-decade investigation she helped spearhead into her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious death in 2000NEED TO KNOW ABC News Studios' latest true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, begins streaming on Hulu July 30 The series looks into the mysterious death of Mike Williams on Dec. 16, 2000 Kathy Aldredge, one of Williams' close friends, helped crack the case and tells PEOPLE she believes "there's still some missing pieces" out there that could explain what really happenedKathy Aldredge felt vindicated in front of the camera, finally free to share the truth about a devious plot she quietly investigated — at times alongside police — for the better part of the last two decades. 'I feel a lot of satisfaction,' Aldredge tells PEOPLE. 'I've waited a long time to speak on this topic and speak about my experience, and so there's a lot of satisfaction in finishing the project.' Aldredge's tireless search for the truth about her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious 2000 death is at the center of ABC News Studios' upcoming true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, which begins streaming on Hulu on July 30. (An exclusive clip is shown below.) The four-part series examines Williams' disappearance the weekend before he and his wife, Denise, were set to celebrate their wedding anniversary — and follows Aldredge's determined quest to uncover what really happened. The 31-year-old father went missing after setting out on his boat to go duck hunting on the morning of Dec. 16, 2000, on Florida's Lake Seminole. He never returned, leading police to later theorize he had been eaten by an alligator. But Aldredge grew suspicious after her husband, Brian Winchester, began having an affair with Denise — his best friend's widow. She and Winchester eventually divorced but remained in each other's lives because they shared a child. 'To say they stabbed me in the back doesn't even touch it,' Aldredge says in the docuseries' trailer. 'They had stabbed me in the soul.' She and Williams' mother, Cheryl Williams — who adamantly believed Denise and Brian had killed her son — began digging deeper into what had happened. They ultimately worked directly with police, went undercover, and later testified against Brian and Denise when the pair were convicted of working together to kill Mike. 'I've been able to kind of shut the door on that chapter, but there's a window that's still open,' Aldredge explains to PEOPLE, wondering how Brian and Denise were able to get away with the murder for 17 years before eventually being convicted. With the docuseries is coming out soon, Aldredge says she hopes it might lead to others coming forward with more information about what happened — and why she believes police investigations into Mike's murder were repeatedly halted. 'I feel like there's still some missing pieces,' she says. 'I feel like Brian and Denise, for all those years, were protected in some way.' Aldredge says revisiting her experiences 'took me back to a dark place.' After she and Williams' mother, Cheryl, came forward with their accusations against Brian and Denise, they encountered police roadblocks — and backlash from community members who defended the couple. Despite the blowback, the pair of fiercely determined amateur investigators never stopped trying to figure out how and why Mike was killed.'She and I spent a lot of years under the radar,' Aldredge says, recalling the many days she and Mike's mother spent digging for clues that might help connect the dots in his death. 'Cheryl and I went through this together, even though we didn't see each other every day and we didn't talk every day, whenever we got together, this investigation was what we talked about. This investigation was what connected us, and it was a constant obsession throughout all those years, no matter how much time had passed between us, there was always that connection.' Viewers can watch how it all unfolded on July 30 when Mr. and Mrs. Murder begins streaming on Hulu. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
