A man's five minutes of fame at a Florida golf course where he hit a hole-in-one and had his picture taken is what allegedly helped officers arrest and charge him in connection with a deadly assault that took place in the course's parking lot.
The Sumter County Sheriff's arrested Robert Moore, 75, of the Villages, on July 27 and charged him with aggravated manslaughter on an elderly person in connection with the June 28 incident that took place at the Glenview Country Club, court documents say.
Dean Zook, 87, allegedly was heading to the club that day with his wife for dinner when his car bumped into another car parked in the lot, court documents said. A man came out asking what Zook did to his car and after Zook allegedly took responsibility and asked for insurance information, police said.
The other man allegedly punched Zook several times, according to court documents.
"The victim attempted to put his hands up to protect himself, but was unable to protect himself from the continuing punches," court documents said.
The suspect later discovered that his car was not the one struck by Zook, but left the scene, court documents said.
Zook stumbled when police arrived on the scene and he was rushed to a hospital with bleeding in the brain, police said. He succumbed to his injuries on July 16, according to court documents.
Investigators interviewed several witnesses, looked at credit card records and reviewed surveillance footage to find the suspect, police said.
Detectives were able to allegedly match credit card purchases made at the club the day of the assault to Moore, court documents said.

When someone tells you that old people are crazy, believe it!
Life sentence. Nice way to live the end of your life.
probably drunk and a joy to live with.
Yep. Never a pretty sight.👨🦳
I remember a story that is well over 20 years ago where a man in his late 70s or 80s murdered his wife and his reason was that he could no longer take the constant nagging.
The perp: M. O. O. N. spells Moon. SK fans should get it.
I don’t believe this was about parking dings but another debate about Proust.
Moore allegedly began punching Zook, before realizing it was not his Lexus.
Those oversized 90s clothes are funnier than the dialogue now.
How awful for the wife to see that.
Nobody likes to see that their car was bumped, but you don’t murder the person over it as they are handing you their insurance card. And it wasn’t even his car! Lock him up and throw away the key.
I think Mother Abigail would get it as would RandallFlagg...
I was at my fraternity’s alumni event last year and some undergrads were in a room smoking Weed and watching 1970’s porn. They were skipping through the sex scenes to look at the clothing. One asked me if people really wore clothes like that and I said “Velour was comfortable”. Also “Why are the men so hairy?”
Is that a Titleist?
I used to joke that my retirement plan was to get sentenced to life without parole. Guaranteed housing, food, and medical care, and plenty of time to read.
At least nobody involved was named Tom Cullen.
