Louisville police said the arresting officer in the Scottie Scheffler incident violated procedure by not activating his bodycam video recorder and has been disciplined.
last week because he didn't activate his bodycam video recorder during the incident outside the gates of Valhalla Golf Club, police chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel announced Thursday.
"Detective Gillis should have turned on his body worn camera but did not. His failure to do so is a violation of LMPD policy on uniforms and equipment." "We understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation," Gwinn-Villaroel said.
Scheffler's attorney, Steven Romines, told reporters shortly after Thursday's news conference that his client wasn't interested in a plea deal. He previously told ESPN that Scheffler would plead not guilty. According to the incident report, Gillis stopped Scheffler's SUV and attempted to give him instructions. The report said Scheffler"refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground."
