WEST PALM BEACH, FL OCT 30 2009–West Palm Beach Police have arrested a man whom they say escaped from a mental facility at St. Mary’s Medical Center and stole a security guard’s golf cart as his getaway vehicle.

According to investigators, Timothy Gregory punched a 59-year-old female security guard in the face and ‘carjacked’ the security guard’s golf cart, driving northbound on I-95 for two miles before he was caught.

A security officer told police that Gregory had escaped after pulling a fire alarm.

Officers were able to catch up with Gregory on I-95 where they say he swerved in and out of rush-hour traffic, endangering other drivers’ lives including the officers.

Police were able to subdue Gregory and take him into custody after a struggle.

Police say Gregory admitted taking the cart saying, “I pushed an old lady out and commandeered it.”

Gregory is charged with 1 count of carjacking, 2 counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, fleeing and eluding, and one count of resisting officer with violence
