CATALINA ISLAND, Calif. â€"  A Los Angeles County sheriff's captain may have bunkered his career for getting an inmate to shave a few shots off his golf game.
Capt. Jeff Donahue was accused of taking Frank Carrillo, a former pro golfer, out of Catalina Island's correction facility for a free clinic to reform his swing and lower his double-digit handicap, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
Carrillo, who claims he was still in his yellow prison jumpsuit while correcting Donahue's play at the hilltop course, said he was in demand for golf advice after transferring to the tourist isle's jail.
The jewel thief said he suggested to Donahue he could improve his game with a lesson.
"I knew it was a crazy thing to say," he said. "But the first thing he said was, 'Maybe I need a few pointers.'"
Donahue, who is currently on medical leave, was being investigated for an inappropriate relationship with an inmate following a complaint from a deputy.
