Louisville police release Scottie Scheffler arrest video
(NewsNation) —– Authorities in Kentucky released new details Thursday about the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top golfer, as the investigation continues into whether officers followed the Louisville Metro Police Department's policies in the arrest.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said during a news conference that LMPD will release footage from the time of the arrest from two cameras: a fixed pole camera and a dash cam of a police car.
Scheffler is scheduled to tee off in another tournament at 1:45 p.m. ET Thursday.
What charges does Scheffler face?
Scheffler, 27, faces four charges, including second-degree assault of a police officer.
He was arrested Friday after he attempted to drive past a police officer on his way into the golf club, according to ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington. The officer attempted to attach himself to Scheffler’s car, prompting the golfer to stop his vehicle just short of the golf club’s entrance.
The officer yelled at Scheffler to remove himself from the vehicle. When he did, the officer reportedly shoved Scheffler against his car and placed him in handcuffs.
Darlington witnessed Scheffler’s arrest live and caught part of the arrest on video.
According to the police report, the arresting officer, Detective Bryan Gillis, attempted to stop Scheffler but was allegedly “dragged” by the golfer’s vehicle and hospitalized.
The police report also said that Gillis’ “uniform pants, valued at approximately $80, were damaged beyond repair.”
Conflicting reports claim the officer attached himself to Scheffler’s car in an effort to stop him from driving forward.
Scheffler's arraignment is set for June 3.
