Kings Point dog walker shot by golf-cart vigilante in condo caper

Kings Pointer Robert Levine, 74, fired five shots at an unfamiliar fellow condo resident, Herbert Merritt, 64, while he was walking his dog near the 15th hole of the golf course at Kings Point early one evening last month, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

Levine, driving a golf cart, pulled up to Merritt, and confronted him about walking his dog too close to the golf course, according to the arrest report.

The verbal confrontation took a potentially life-and-death turn when Levine pointed a handgun at Merritt, who then ran, as Levine pursued him around a tree in the cart while shooting at the fleeing dog owner, the arrest report said.

One of the shots hit Merritt in the left ankle, wounding him and dropping him to the ground. Levine wasn’t done, according to the report. An eyewitness told deputies that the golfer kicked Merritt in the head, then went to golf cart, pulled out a club and began hitting the fallen dog owner with a club, while still holding the handgun in his other hand.

A judge who deemed Levine a threat to himself and others issued a risk-protection order this week, prohibiting him from possessing firearms and ammunition for a year.

I’m going to go out on a limb on this, but I think Mr. Levine has anger management problems.

There you go. That will keep this criminal on a short leash from now on, NOT. The guy obviously committed attempted murder and assault with more than one deadly weapon, and he gets that pathetically weak slap on the wrist?

There is a big difference between just being the cranky old man who yell’s ‘Get Off My Golf Course with that mangy DOG!!”
and being the cranky guy who shoots to wound, then tries clubbing you to death with his club.
I think this man ‘would be far happier living someplace else’
Like Jail, for instance.

Could it have anything to do with the name Levine?
