Finally, breaking the PGA officials has a brutal punishment to Scotty Cheffler, and confirms that he has been disqualified … .. ..
On Thursday morning, Mayor Louisville and Secretary of Police said that a police officer arrested Scotty Cheffler in a traffic case last week was disciplined because he did not turn on his body camera. However, four charges against Scheffler remain pending.
Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg acknowledged that the arresting officer, Detective Brian Gillis, did not turn on his body camera during last Friday’s incident. Louisville Metropolitan Police Department policy requires officers to turn on their body cameras before “participating in any law enforcement activity or encounter.”
While video footage exists of the patrol car’s dashboard and of Paul in front of Valhalla, Greenberg claims no video exists of the incident itself.
LMPD released these two videos shortly after the press conference ended. Greenberg said that at the request of the Louisville District Attorney’s Office, no further video will be released until after the trial.
“Regarding the results of our internal investigation, Detective Gillis met with Mr. Scotty Scheffler. “Mr. Gillis should have turned on his body camera and he didn’t,” Greenberg said.
“It was a political blunder.”
Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacqueline Gwynn Villaroel said Mr. Gillis violated two internal policies by not activating his body camera. Discipline for these missteps involves notes on Gillis’s file with the department.
However, Greenberg and Gwinn-Villaroel said they “respect the legal process” and would let the process play out. This means that charges against Scheffler are currently on hold pending action from the Jefferson County (Kentucky) District Attorney’s Office.
Scheffler was arrested Friday morning near Valhalla Golf Club ahead of the second round of the 2024 PGA Championship and charged with second-degree assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and failure to comply with a traffic control officer’s signal.
Scheffler allegedly passed a police officer as he was entering the club, despite his instructions. Scheffler called the incident a misunderstanding, although the police report said Gillis was dragged by Scheffler’s car, causing injuries and damage to Gillis’ pants.
Scheffler’s attorney, Steve Romines, disputes the nature of the incident. “[Sheffler] began to work in accordance with the indication of another road traffic officer, and drove a car with a marked player with visible powers,” Romins said. “In the confusion of Scotti, stated, ignored the road signals of another officer, which led to these accusations. Numerous witnesses confirmed that he had done nothing wrong and was simply following instructions: he stopped immediately after receiving orders and at no time attacked police officers with his vehicle. We will litigate this matter as necessary and he will be completely exonerated.”
Scheffler’s arraignment was originally scheduled for May 21 but has been postponed to June 3. Romines told multiple news outlets that Scheffler will plead not guilty. “Our position remains the same,” said Romin after a press conference on Thursday. “He will be rejected or will go to court. I’m not interested in setup. “”
After being arrested on Friday, the cheper returned to Valhala and shot in the second round 66, but after 73, he acknowledged that the mixed OTIC was exhausted. The chephler rebounded in the last 65 rounds and finally finished equally in the eighth time. He’s currently competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth this week, starting at 1:45pm ET for the first round.
