Polo Club Founder Facing DUI Conviction Adopts Adult Girlfriend to Protect Fortune
In a sleazy legal maneuver to protect his fortune, John Goodman, 48, a wealthy polo club founder, formally adopted his girlfriend Heather Laruso Hutchins, 42. Goodman is facing civil DUI charges for drunk driving and leaving the scene of the accident after he killed a 23 year old.
