Sacramento golf course damaged as alleged vandal drives over ‘majority’ of greens
An alleged vandal drove over the greens at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex in Sacramento this week with a motor vehicle, causing extensive damage.
Haggin Oaks wrote in a Facebook post Monday that its Arcade Creek course was “vandalized by someone who drove over the majority of the greens,” leading that course to be closed Monday and Tuesday for repairs.
Haggin Oaks wrote that police caught and arrested the suspected vandal after the damage was done.
The Sacramento Police Department identified the suspect as Douglas Piercy, 47, who was arrested on suspicion of vandalism. Piercy was booked into the Sacramento County jail but released on Monday, booking logs show.
The alleged vandal also did minor damage to a “few” holes at the complex’s Alister MacKenzie course, but that course remained open.
