Simon Lloyd was detained by staff after a golf cart was stolen during the Open Championship at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club
A drunk man bit a security guard after being accused of stealing and crashing a golf buggy during the Open Championship. Simon Lloyd was detained by staff after the cart was taken while the tournament was being hosted at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake in summer last year. The 47-year-old however denied that he was responsible for the theft and smashing the vehicle into an on-site building, and also claimed that he was acting in self-defence once apprehended.
He denies being the driver of the buggy that caused the damage in driving into the hut.' Mr Polglase told the court today that Lloyd has one previous conviction for assault following 'an incident when the defendant and another man were driving, which involved him throwing a chippy tea at him'. This resulted in him being handed a community order in February this year.
