New Jersey Resident with DUIs Arrested in Golf Cart at Winn-Dixie

Debarylife – In a Winn-Dixie shop in The Villages, a Villager who has many convictions for drunk driving in New Jersey was taken into custody while riding in a golf cart.

According to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department, Janine Renee Rapka, 45, of the Village of Santo Domingo, is accused of keying a car during a fight with the owner of the vehicle on Easter Sunday at Winn-Dixie in La Plaza Grande at around three p.m.

A man crossed in front of Rapka’s golf cart when she was stalled at a stop sign at the store.

After screaming obscenities at the man, Rapka went over to his silver Ford and used a key to scrape the right front passenger door, resulting in damage estimated to be worth $1,000. When Rapka unlocked the door while the man’s mother was seated inside the Ford, she dialed 911.

As Rapka tried to drive away in her golf cart, a policeman pulled into the parking lot. Her golf cart was blocked from departing by the policeman using his squad car.
