Video Reveals Details of Scottie Scheffler’s Controversial Arrest

The recent arrest of the world’s top golfer, Scottie Scheffler, raises serious questions about law enforcement conduct and procedural adherence.

Incident Overview

Scheffler was arrested in Louisville while waiting for his tee time in a car marked with tournament credentials. This occurred last week in the golf course parking lot. Scheffler was trying to navigate through traffic and drove around an incident in his clearly marked PGA vehicle. However, Louisville Detective Bryan Gillis claimed, without evidence, that he was dragged by Scheffler’s vehicle for about 10 yards. Scheffler denied this, stating he had no idea the officer was even on his car.

Disputed Claims and Evidence

Detective Gillis wrote in a police report that Scheffler “demanded to be let in and proceeded forward… I was dragged/knocked down by the driver.” However, Gillis failed to activate his police bodycam during the encounter, which is a violation of LMPD policy on uniforms and equipment. Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel admitted Gillis’s failure to follow procedure. A street pole camera video later released showed that Detective Gillis was not dragged; instead, it showed him chasing after Scheffler’s vehicle for a few seconds before Scheffler stopped.
