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.

Karma can be a bitch. Hope this jerk spends the rest of his life in jail.
M-O-O-N, that spells Tom Cullen
I like a lot of Stephen King’s books, even if the guy himself is a nutjob. The Stand was a lot of fun.
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.
So he stumbled after the perp left and when the police were with him and suffered a brain bleed and died.
Sounds weak to me.
So what was your answer?
Always pay cash, always!

Proust? What’s that?
This is BS. They had his name from the bar tab and his picture from surveillance cameras. The hole-in-one picture meant nothing.
"a man in his late 70s or 80s murdered his wife and his reason was that he could no longer take the constant nagging"
On the other hand, The Villages is really, really huge.
I forget what my point was.
Lol. I live alone and get tired of the nagging!!
