LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville police officer who arrested Scottie Scheffler said he has “no ill will” toward the pro golfer for injuries he said he suffered while directing traffic after a fatal accident during the PGA Championship.
A Louisville prosecutor dropped charges against Scheffler on Wednesday. Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell said Scheffler’s explanation that he had a misunderstanding May 17 with an officer directing traffic outside Valhalla Golf Club was “corroborated by the evidence.”
The officer, detective Bryan Gillis, said he wishes Scheffler and his family “all the best” but took issue with comments by Scheffler’s attorney after the Wednesday court hearing. Gillis released the one-page statement to WAVE-TV in Louisville on Wednesday night.
