Don't mess with Dirty Harry.

That's the lesson for a Salinas man arrested Saturday for allegedly embezzling more than $30,000 from a Carmel golf club founded by actor Clint Eastwood.

The suspect, Neal Bentley Morton, 48, worked as a manager at Tehama Golf Club, described on its website as "a luxury, private golf course ... high on the land above Carmel ... providing views and scenery that truly take one's breath away."

Bentley was booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of 16 counts of forgery, embezzlement and grand theft, totaling $33,621 according to the Monterey County sheriff's office.

Staff at Tehama Golf Club did not return calls Sunday.

The golf club sits on a 2,000-acre property above Carmel, and includes a golf course, restaurant, fitness center, clubhouse and gated residential area with homes starting at $2.5 million.
