A Hesperia man was arrested Tuesday morning after he unknowingly did a doughnut on the Hesperia golf course in front of a Sheriff’s deputy, officials said. An investigation revealed the ATV was stolen.

Ryan Morrison, 20, was arrested for possession of stolen property at about 12:30 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Hesperia station officials said.

Deputy Kevin McCurdy was patrolling in the area of Buckthorn and I avenues searching for a man on an ATV who was riding on the golf course, according to Sgt. Ken Lutz. Suddenly, a rider later identified as Morrison came out of a field and rode out right in front of the deputy.

McCurdy stopped Morrison and through an investigation learned the ATV had been stolen on Thanksgiving day.

Morrison was booked into the Victor Valley Jail and the stolen ATV was returned to its owner.

“Once they chased our cow into a deep arroyo where it fell and broke its neck. I don't understand how anyone could think chasing livestock is fun.”  As a result of the growing conflicts with off-roaders, the Gonzales family stopped their cattle ranching. It doesn't matter whether it is a plate or decal, what is important is that the identification is visible. The police could have tracked down the illegal riders if we had been able to photograph the IDs on their vehicles. I think that would have made them think twice before breaking the law.”
