A Waynesboro man and
woman are under arrest and
charged with nine counts of
theft after Mr. Golf Carts on
Mills Road was burglarized
Thursday, Feb. 27. Fuke Bu
nyon, 42, and Fashae Denise
Wells, 24, broke into the facil
ity sometime around midnight
by cutting the fence around the
property.
Three unidentified juveniles
accompanied the pair, ultimate
ly causing thousands of dollars
in damage to the property and
to a number of golf carts.
Video surveillance caught
the group driving the golf carts
around the property and then
leaving with them.
The group was seen at two
separate times returning on golf
carts and obtaining new ones.
The Waynesboro Police De
partment was notified of one
abandoned golf cart on Waters
Street, which was towed to
Top Quality. Two were located
on the 700 block of Wallace
Street, two on Yellow Town
Road and East 8th street, one
on East 8th Street at Wallace
Street, two in the woods near
Mr. Golf Carts,and another at
Tabernacle Calvary Church on
Waters Street..
Officers interviewed the
three juveniles, who admitted
to stealing the golf carts. They
also identified Fuke Bunyon
and Wells as being involved
in the heist.
Responding to a tip after a
BOFO was put out for Bunyon,
officers found him hiding in a
closet in a unit in Burkestone
Apartments and placed him in
custody.
Bunyon became combative
while being placed in the police
vehicle and had to be restrained
with leg irons.
He is being held at the Burke
County Detention Center with
nine felony counts of theft by
taking a motor vehicle with
additional charges including
criminal damage to property
and criminal trespass. Wells is
also under arrest and in deten
tion with similar charges.
