Man arrested after security alerts police to burglary at Augusta golf course
Augusta GA March 2 2021 According to the Augusta Chronicle, officers were called to the Masters venue at 11.39pm on Saturday, February 20, after club security reported an unknown white male appearing on surveillance cameras.
That man has been named as 26-year-old Grayson Beveridge from the Augusta suburb of Martinez.
When officers attempted to make contact with him, Beveridge reportedly ran away towards the bridge on Berckmans Road.
After a short pursuit, he was apprehended on Ingleside Drive.
Beveridge reportedly told officers that he had snuck onto the property because he “was bored” and wanted to have “some fun.”
He was jailed at the Charles B Webster Detention Centre and later released on bond.
According to a police report filed by the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, the club intends to press charges against Beveridge.
Augusta National will host the 85th edition of the Masters Tournament from April 8-11, where Dustin Johnson will attempt to become just the fourth player to successfully defend the Green Jacket.
