A suspect accused of shooting at golfers on a Dallas golf course and hiding from authorities for hours inside a drainage ditch was subdued and taken into custody Wednesday with the help of a police robot.

Kevin Knowles, 31, was taken into custody in connection with the shooting at Grover C. Keeton Golf Course, FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported, citing police.

Knowles allegedly crashed a stolen car near the golf course before approaching a group of players on the fourth hole, the report said.

“At some point in the transaction they ended up getting shot at by the gentleman, the gentleman stole the golf cart, and he tried to flee to the front entrance,” Ty Martinez, a golf pro at the course, told the station.
