Scottie Scheffler arrest case takes another weird turn with new video

scottie scheffler arrest case takes another weird turn with new video

Scottie Scheffler.

A new video of Scottie Scheffler's arrest outside Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville last Friday has surfaced online.

The clip, which the Louisville Metro Police Department released to the public Thursday afternoon, shows Scheffler driving a black Lexus toward the golf club entrance when a police officer, Detective Bryan Gillis, chases his vehicle down and appears to smack the windshield with an object. Scheffler and the police officer engage in a short conversation before the No. 1 golfer in the world exits the vehicle and is placed in handcuffs.

According to the original police report, Scheffler was driving a credentialed PGA courtesy car through traffic caused by a fatal shuttle bus accident earlier that morning. Detective Gillis claimed Scheffler "refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging" him to the ground and damaging his $80 pants "beyond repair."

Jeff Darlington of ESPN, who was on the scene at the time of the arrest, reported the officer "attached" himself to the vehicle as Scheffler drove another 10-20 yards. The Masters champion was arrested shortly afterward and booked at a local police station. He spent the next hour or two in a jail cell but was released in time to make his tee time and shoot a 5-under 66 in the second round of the PGA Championship.

The video release coincided with a news conference Thursday involving Louisville mayor Craig Greenberg and Louisville police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel.

During the presser, Gwinn-Villaroel revealed Gillis failed to turn on his body camera and has received "corrective action." The LMPD then released a new video from an angle across the street.

Mayor Greenberg said no charges have been dropped in the case. Scheffler is still due in court on June 3, facing charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer.
