Two Florence police officers and a Fountain Hills detective posed as golfers in Scottsdale Saturday to nab a man accused of paying his greens fees with a stolen credit card, then stealing his fellow players' clubs.
The thief is believed to have sold golf clubs at a used sporting goods store in Mesa. Florence police were hopeful of recovering an $1,800 set of clubs stolen last month in Florence.
Chad Carnahan, 35, of Chandler, was cooperative when he was arrested at Orange Tree Golf Resort, but invoked his right to remain silent and has said little to police. He is in jail in Maricopa County.
Carnahan allegedly booked a tee time online at the Poston Butte Golf Club in Florence for Feb. 22. He showed up alone for the scheduled time and was paired with another golfer.
Upon reaching the 16th hole, the suspect allegedly told his partner that he left his wedge at the last hole and would be back. He allegedly drove off with the other man's clubs and never returned, Florence Police Detective Gary Lewis said. The other man reported the theft.
Then last Thursday, the club manager was in Gold Canyon for a meeting and learned of a similar theft there the day before. The Poston Butte manager watched the security video in Gold Canyon, and saw that the suspect matched the description of the suspect in Florence. The suspect had also left a resume for a job in the kitchen.
Florence police learned from an online booking company that the credit card used to reserve these previous tee times had been used to book a game Saturday at Orange Tree Golf Course. Police contacted the owner of the credit card, who didn't realize it had been stolen and canceled it. The game was reserved under another name, Jason Lowell.
When Carnahan was arrested, he allegedly had the stolen card number and the rightful card holder's address in his possession.
Carnahan is reportedly a talented chef, but allegedly lost his last job for stealing. He recently served probation for the sale of methamphetamine, Lewis said.

sometimes i come home from the lords house and i feel like yelling at my children for bein sinners and i smack them and demand my pills. then when i get my pills i am calm again. and at peace with everything in life. sometimes i hear a knock at the door. i answer but no one is there. so i scream and scream until someone comes. then i say "why have you angered the wolf?". its always danny that answers. he says "oh gina, calm down. no one is here but you and me" and he touches my special spot, it makes me melt. we embrace each other for hours. until the moon comes out of its slumber. some people say that dinosaurs don't exsist. but danny says "without dinosaurs how can you explain wolves" and i reply by saying "you mean how can you explain me?" the wolf is inside. sometimes it is talking to you. but you dont hear it, because it is a soft soothing voice inside. when i hear the beats i move my feet and the wolf is delighted. when the wolf is delighted i know i have done the work.... well.... well.... welll..... the beatles were better with pete best. you might say best was the best. i would too.
William D. Berry was born on
May 20, 1926,in San Mateo, CA.
His family soon moved to
Arizona, where they lived for
seven years. He spent
countless hours outside
studying everything that
moved reading animal books,
and watching Disney films.
He kept several small
critters in his room and
began drawing animals as
soon as he could hold a
pencil. He completed his
first book (on slugs) when he
was five! As time went on, he
became more known to the
public. He wanted to work
for Disney and even went to
the Art Center in Los Angeles
in 1943, but World War 2
intervened.He served his last
military year as a cartoonist
for "Stars and Stripes".
When he returned to civilian
life, he attended the School
of Allied Arts in Glendale, CA.
However most of his knowledge
came from hours spent at the
Los Angeles County Museum,
where he drew skeletons and
studied the structure of
dozens of birds and mammals.
He ended up illustrating a
book for them, entitled
"Birds of Southern CA", by
George Wollett. Over the
years, Berry worked as a
Curator of Science at the
California Junior Museum in
Sacramento and did numerous
commissions, ranging from
paintings to illustrations
to murals. Invited to visit
Alaska, Berry and his wife,
Elizabeth, eagerly accepted.
Alaska soon had a hold on
them that patently never let
go. Elizabeth Berry recalls
in the book about a time in
Denali National Park when
their jeep got stuck. "....The
guest was a different kind of
person, to say the least,
and while he made angels in
the snow and praised the
ancient gods for letting us
experience this magnificent
country, we were busy using
the garbage can lids as
shovels. We finally extricated
the jeep and started back to
Camp Denali when Bill yelled
at us to stop and took his
turn at praising the gods-
actually a whole line of
exuberant profanity. Then my
eye caught what he had seen-
several black dots that
resolved themselves into
wolves. It was a family of
eight black wolves, the first
wolves we had seen in three
summers at Camp Denali. The
scene is etched permanently
in my memory, and I love
looking at the sketch Bill did
of the place and the moment.
He worked a couple of days on
that one sketch, aiming to
capture exactly how the scene
looked. Our guest was sure
that it was his praising the
gods and our getting stuck
that brought such a good
omen."
This band played our place about 4 years ago, and they were great, an inspired mix of folk music, Dada Absurdism, and a little 6-s "Beat" vibe mixed in too. They're one of the bands we've talked about for years and years, and we're happy they're still making their art, and that they are coming back to play again!
Also returning are 2 of the locals who played that first show: The Coitus: low-fi electronic duo who work on mashed up home brew junk electronics. Think, Speak-N-Spell meets the robot from Lost In Space as a dance band. http://www.myspace.com/thecoitus
