A 41-year-old man died after falling off a golf cart near Hoy's Resort in Rice County.

Sheriff's officials say Randy Dean Ronquist of Faribault suffered a severe head injury when his head hit the pavement after he fell off the golf cart on Friday night.

The driver of the golf cart, a 47-year-old Richfield man, was arrested and was being held in Rice County on suspicion of fifth-degree driving under the influence and criminal vehicular homicide.

Rice County Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Silkey says aggressive driving doesn't appear to be a factor, but that all four men in the golf cart had been drinking.
