Number one golfer Scottie Scheffler has been charged with second-degree assault of a police officer after a cop who was directing traffic outside of this week’s PGA championship was allegedly dragged to the ground and injured by Scheffler’s vehicle.
Gillis was standing in the westbound lanes of the road when Scheffler’s SUV pulled into them “to avoid traffic backup,” the outlet reported. Gillis was in his police uniform and was wearing a “high-visibility yellow reflective rain jacket,” the Louisville Metro Police Department said. The professional golfer was arrested but released a short time after at 8:40 a.m. without bail, returning to the golf club with less than an hour to spare before tee-off, ESPN reported.“This morning, I was proceeding as directed by police officers,” Scheffler said in a statement posted to his Instagram Stories.
“He was getting ready for his tee time. They were directing traffic. He held his credential out and was going in like they’d been instructed to,” he said. “Apparently, there had been a traffic accident, maybe even a fatality, down the road, and that had changed the traffic patterns, and he was unaware of that.”the miscommunication arose” due to Gillis not being part of the event’s regular traffic detail.
