Scottie Scheffler mug shot - arrested in Louisville before second round

[BobbyFK]

Scheffler arrived to the course just past 9:00 a.m. and was dropped off at the Valhala clubhouse.

So he wasn't the one driving?

So he wasn't the one driving?

I think this was after the arrest and his release....
I think.

The pics from the scene when he was arrested its completely dark out so at/before sunrise.

All in on him next event.

Cop is an absolute CLOWN show. Made up the Assault and Mischief so he could book him.

They dressed him out??? He is obviously going to be able to make bail. That is some mickey mouse shit by that Jail.

Maybe Scottie is some really entitled douchebag and pretty much acted like the cop had no right telling him what he could and could not do.

I mean I guess it's possible.

i have found over the years the police here in nc act stupid, pinehurst and charlotte goes nuts at time when you try to stop

Too bad this wasn’t Tiger Woods.

 

[Archie]

he should have just complied

 

[BigJay]

I could be wrong but I would find it incredible that Scheffler would get physical with a cop.
Hopefully, we see the body cam footage soon. I'm sure ESPN is pressing for it.

The felony assault charge is because he drove about 10 feet when the officer jumped on the door of Scottie’s car trying to get him to stop.

Too bad this wasn’t Tiger Woods.

Man we agree sometimes. He's a serial cheater on his wife a DUI specialist and just overall scumbag. And when he had that covid golf thing with Brady he was using

 

[jjgold]

He thought he was above the law. He should definitely get jail time.

Just another half queer cop mad that another man rolls dime pieces while he is filing for divorce from his nightstick.

With what? Some wannabe Robocoop "attaching" himself to Schefflers car in complete and total darkness when Scottie is the world's number 1 golfer and has to worry about lunatics like any other athlete, Bro Schefflers attorney going to get the whole thing tossed EASILY and that PD is lucky he has money cuz he would win a lawsuit as well. Just cuz you are a cop doesn't mean you can just jump on someone's vehicle like that and consider it proper ID. Scheff can easily argue he thought it was some psycho fan and it was so dark he had no idea. Even be like "I didn't think a cop would be dumb enough to think he can stop a vehicle by attaching himself to it." I mean a car vs human is going to win 100% of the time. You can jump on all the moving vehicles you want, badge isn't going to matter to physics.

Hero cop. Well said baz

Guy thinks he's in a movie apparently

One of the issues here and what made the situation escalate so quickly is here is a normal dynamic at all tournies:

A lot of security vehicles with a few police stationed just outside the course. One of their main tasks is to let players in clearly marked loaner vehicles through to the course without stopping.

What happened today was a pedestrian (a contract worker) was killed by a bus right outside the gates of the golf course very early.

That, of course, brought in a much larger police force whose main goal was to keep everyone away from the course entrance, as this area was now a crime scene.

Scottie had no idea the person had been killed. He didn’t know now, instead of the usual security that guards the course gate entrance that he is instructed to drive through each day, was now heavily laden with cops.

It sounds like the cop gave him an order to stop and once he didn’t comply, either because he didn’t hear the guy, or because he was just doing what he does at the course gate entrance every day at every other tournament, it was on. Once cops get that ego/adrenaline going you’re going to be in trouble. I’m glad they didn’t shoot him.

This seems like it was a communication breakdown all around. Players could have been sent a text alert apprising them of the situation.

The cop/cops should probably have been made aware what cars are filled with players.

Who the hell knows what happened in the total darkness.

I know an ESPN reporter who witnessed it all said a cop came up to him afterward and asked, “who did we just arrest?” So Scottie didn’t pull the “do you know who I am card.”

My take is it seems the situation definitely could have been avoided with just a little bit of chill-out on both sides.

ruined a nice pair of pants

they should have shot him

The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states. His uniform pants, valued at about $80, “were damaged beyond repair,” the report adds.

 

[fishhead]

Horrible look for the sport.

NO,LOL

 

[BigJay]

 

[fishhead]

If they were still investigating the accident then this is probably what happened but he should have stopped and listened to orders. He made things alot worse for himself

YOU WERE THERE?

 

[JDS]

NO,LOL

Bobby tries but he often comes up short, not knowing all the facts.
