Charges against Scottie Scheffler dropped after ‘big misunderstanding’ outside PGA Championship
Scottie Scheffler watches his tee shot on the 11th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship at the Valhalla Golf Club on May 17 in Louisville, Ky.
Charges against Scottie Scheffler have been dropped after the Jefferson County attorney’s office in Louisville, Ky., told a judge Wednesday that it was not moving forward with the case nearly two weeks after the world’s No. 1 golfer was arrested outside the PGA Championship.
“Based upon the totality of the evidence, my office cannot move forward in the prosecution of the charges filed against Mr. Scheffler,” Jefferson County Atty. Mike O’Connell said during a court hearing. “Mr. Scheffler’s characterization that this was ‘a big misunderstanding’ is corroborated by the evidence.”
Scheffler was arrested May 17 before the start of the second round of the tournament after attempting to drive into the entrance at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville as police were investigating a fatal traffic accident that had occurred at the site earlier that morning.
Scheffler was booked on four charges: second-degree assault of a police officer, which is a felony, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic. He was released without bail and was able to play his round that day, shooting a five-under 66.
