Capt. Michael Tregre of the St. John Parish Sheriff's Office said the boy was one of three boys riding in the cargo area of a golf cart, being driven by an 8-year-old girl with an 11-year-old female passenger.
In the 700 block of Aline Street at 5:26 p.m., the victim got off the rear of the cart to pick up something from the street. The cart then backed over him and dragged him for an unknown distance.
