Gate-Jumpers Busted After Incident at Augusta National

-

Three gate-jumpers were arrested on Masters Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club after they tried to get onto the club on the final day of the prestigious golf tournament, authorities said.

Conor Wilkinson, 20 (pictured from left), his father Lloyd Stephen Wilkinson, 53, and Conor’s friend, John Bradley Boyd, 18, were all charged with disorderly conduct in the incident, authorities said.

Authorities say the three suspects were walking on the far west end of the course near Gate 14. That’s when Deputy Bruce Williams saw them trying to jump the fence near Gate 14.

“They were unsuccessful at jumping it,” sheriff’s Sgt. Monica Belser said. “The Deputies got into a short foot pursuit. The father told the son Conor to run. All three were taken into custody.”

Obviously, they did not have tickets for the big day, authorities said.

Citations were written for each and they were booked into the county jail. Each face a possible fine of $285. A court date is set for May 12th.

Coner and Lloyd Wilkson have a listed address of Holly Pond Lane in Mooresville, NC. Boyd has an address of Beatrice Lane in Holliston, Massachusetts.
