Decatur cops say a guy named Lucky had anything but good fortune after a wild police chase that finished with a stolen Dodge Challenger belly-flopping into a golf course pond.

Monday, October 6, started with a call about a Challenger from a nearby business. Cops zeroed in on the car at the corner of 4th Avenue SE and Grant Street SE, sparking a high-speed dash through town. Three and a half miles later, Kendall Lucky—yeah, irony shoves its way in here—lost control and plowed straight into a water trap at Point Mallard Golf Course.
Turns out, 37-year-old Lucky was flying solo, and officers nabbed him without a scratch. Now he’s cooling his heels in Morgan County Jail, slapped with a laundry list of charges: grand theft auto, evasion, reckless driving, speeding, and cruising on a suspended license. His bail? A cool $13K.
Miraculously, no one got hurt, though the Challenger probably isn’t coming back from its impromptu swim anytime soon.

Sure, the irony of “Lucky” wiping out in spectacular fashion had folks chuckling, but police weren’t laughing. They hammered home how stupid—and downright deadly—dodging cops can be.
Bottom line? When you bolt from the law, don’t expect a smooth getaway. Sometimes the road ends with a splash, and all you’re left with is a wrecked ride and a court date. The Challenger’s owner? Yeah, they’ll be dealing with insurance headaches long after that soggy mess gets fished out.
