Beef ala cart

Medina, OH -

It might have been a perfect getaway. After all, who would suspect that a person with a purloined roast would flee in a stolen golf cart?

A Cleveland, Ohio, man told a judge he intended to drive the cart about 40 miles from Medina to his home in Cleveland. And it was working.

He even stopped for gas. But police searching for him as a suspect in the swiped meat caper nabbed him and the frozen roast.

He's pleaded guilty and has been released on bond until sentencing. He told the judge he'd been drinking the day of the heist and the alcohol didn't mix well with his psychiatric medication.
