Retired NYC Restaurateur Charged With DUI in Florida Golf Cart Crash That Killed His Wife

A January 6 court date is set pending further investigative disclosures.

Overview

  • The crash happened around 10:45 p.m. on Nov. 30 in Nocatee, Florida, when Christina Theodosiou fell from a golf cart, suffered a head injury, was airlifted to Jacksonville Memorial Trauma Hospital, and died the next day.
  • An arrest report notes Angelo Theodosiou had bloodshot, watery eyes with reddened sclera and a strong odor of alcohol detectable from about three feet away.
  • According to the report, he refused standard field sobriety exercises and declined a breath test, and investigators documented him as the at‑fault driver.
  • He is charged with DUI and refusing to submit to testing, was released on bond on Dec. 1, and is due back in court on Jan. 6.
  • Defense attorney L. Lee Lockett says Theodosiou denies impairment and fault and is heartbroken, as residents highlight ongoing concerns about golf‑cart safety and congestion tied to a new greenway in Nocatee.
