Golf Cart Chaos: Addison Rae's Dad Files Hit and Run Weeks Before Arrest

When a night of drinking with friends takes a turn, sometimes the collateral damage extends far beyond a few bruises. That’s exactly what Monty Lopez claims happened at his Louisiana home on April 7, when a gathering spiraled into what police would later classify as a misdemeanor hit and run.

According to a police report obtained by authorities, officers responded to a disturbance call at Lopez’s residence just before 10 PM. The incident itself sounds almost comical in its setup—until you realize someone got hurt. Monty told cops he’d been drinking with friends when a woman decided to jump on a golf cart. He warned her the vehicle was quick and cautioned against backing up, but she proceeded anyway, plowing straight into his car and running over his foot in the process. What started as a friendly warning became a cautionary tale about ignoring advice at exactly the wrong moment.

The punchline? The woman allegedly took off after the crash, leaving Monty to file a report for a hit and run. He claimed he had video evidence and planned to hand it over to both his insurance company and his lawyer—the kind of documentation that typically signals this incident was serious enough to warrant legal action.

What makes this story particularly noteworthy is the timing. This golf cart incident occurred just weeks before another dramatic situation unfolded at that same house, one that ultimately led to Monty’s arrest on April 28 on a marijuana possession charge. That arrest came amid a separate legal battle where Monty sought a restraining order against his estranged wife, Kaitlyn Lopez, after alleging she became physical during an argument and had a gun during the confrontation. A judge granted a temporary protection order, requiring Kaitlyn to stay away from Monty and the home.

Between the hit and run in early April and the cannabis-related arrest later that month, it’s clear that Monty Lopez’s household was anything but calm during this period. Whether these incidents are connected or simply unfortunate coincidences, they paint a picture of a home dealing with significant turbulence. The golf cart accident might seem like a minor bump in the road—literally—but it’s part of a larger pattern of trouble that defined the spring for Addison Rae’s father.
