This should make the parents or grandparents so very proud.

Villages visitors staying in the Village of Belvedere were arrested early Wednesday morning after they were discovered passed out in a golf cart at a green light at Avenida Central and Paige Place.

Steven P. Barth, 22, of Sunnyside, N.Y., and Timothy R. Barth, 25, of Severna Park, M.D., were discovered at 3:20 a.m. in the golf cart with the plastic side curtains down, slumped over and asleep by a Lady Lake Police Officer. Steven Barth told the officer they had come from Applebee�s and were staying in the Village of Belvedere, according to the arrest report. Two glasses believed to be containing alcohol were in the cupholders of the golf cart, the report indicated.

Steven Barth, who had been behind the wheel, failed field sobriety exercises and was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Timothy Barth was found to have a small bag of marijuana in his pocket during a police patdown, the report said. He was arrested on a charge of marijuana possession.



Steven Barth was booked at the Lake County Jail where he later posted $2,000 bond and was released.

Timothy Barth was booked at the jail where he was released after posting $1,000 bond.

Both are due for arraignment next month in Lake County Court.

Stupid kids - too bad they weren't in Colorado, DC, etc. At least the pot would have been legal. My heart goes out to the parents that will now deal with the embarrassment - no need to beat them up.

At 26 & 22 they're NOT kids-dumbest persons are the owners of the golf cart

Both are over 21 - stupid - but hardly kids.

Everybody does foolish things in their youth. The parents will rip them a new one and they will pay the fines. Hopefully they'll learn from the lessons. No need to gloat.

agree

Villages residents (a lot older than these two) have been caught drunk and half naked, doing the nasty on the bandstand at the square.

At least these two visiting twenty-somethings were clothed and pulled over instead of driving drunk, further.

I don't know anybody whose twenty-something offspring are incapable of doing the same as these two.

They must have been driving drunk. They were passed out in the middle of the road. Sex on the square isn't gonna hurt anyone but themselves. Driving drunk kills.

Not gloating at all. However there will now be two adults with new adult level crimes on their records. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and hope they don't have priors.

True. You can possible break something falling off an electrical box thou.

It seems age is no barrier to DUIs. An 84 year old Stonecrester just got a DUI on Morse according to the other on line paper.

You're right.

I've been noticing how the other online news source always notes age, and more villagers are thinking the place is over-run with those "young whippersnappers" causing all the trouble, while there are older TV residents who do the same or worse.

Sometimes it seems like the younger people from the area are being viewed under a microscope while villagers are often just as bad or worse but rant against the young people.

Passed out at a traffic light is about as drunk as you can get. It'a miracle they made it that far.

[manaboutown]

I wonder if the Barths ed in their cart while they were passed out.

I'll wager nearly all of The Villages' burglars are younger people chiefly residing in the surrounding area although a few are no doubt adult children of Villagers out of prisons and rehabs couch surfing at mom and dad's.
