Scottie Scheffler Police
Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, recently encountered serious legal trouble just before the PGA Championship. This resulted in his arrest in Louisville, Kentucky.
Watch this Scottie Scheffler Police Video incident unfold as Scheffler was attempting to enter Valhalla Golf Club. This occurred amid a significant traffic delay caused by a pedestrian accident.
Police had halted traffic in several lanes to secure the area. The accident occurred near Gate 1—the designated entrance for athletes.
Numerous officers, wearing high-visibility vests, were directing traffic on a dark and rainy morning to ensure safety.
The police report
According to the police report, Detective Brian Gillis was managing traffic into Gate 1 when he saw Scheffler’s vehicle approaching from the eastbound lane. Scheffler reportedly attempted to turn into the westbound lane. Consequently, Detective Gillis stopped him and gave instructions. However, Scheffler allegedly refused to comply and accelerated forward. This resulted in Detective Gillis being dragged to the ground.
Detective Gillis sustained injuries, including pain, swelling, and abrasions to his left wrist and knee. His uniform pants, valued at $80, were damaged beyond repair. He was treated by emergency personnel at a nearby hospital. Scheffler was subsequently arrested and charged with a felony—second-degree assault of Detective Gillis. He faced three misdemeanors: third-degree criminal mischief for damaging the officer’s uniform pants, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from officers on-site.
Following his arrest, Scheffler was released from custody and allowed to continue his participation in the PGA Championship. He played his scheduled rounds.
His legal team maintains that the incident was a “big misunderstanding,” arguing that Scheffler thought he was following police directions. They state he had no intent to cause harm. Scheffler himself expressed confusion, believing he was cooperating with the officers at the scene.
Adding further complexity to the case, it was later revealed that none of the officers’ body cameras were activated during the incident. This prompted an internal investigation into the Scottie Scheffler Police Video.
While Scheffler continues to compete in tournaments, this ongoing case could carry significant consequences for his career.
