CRUCIAL Eyewitness reveals what police officer 'yelled' at Scottie Scheffler before arresting him! 

*New eyewitness account! Is something going on?*

Louisville PD has paid out millions in lawsuits this year alone for violations against the public and we’re expected to believe this is a different case? Right.

With all those charges it’s sounds like a very overzealous prosecutor.

I’m not buying this crap! I think this cop has got an ego and it was a lack of communication that caused this whole event to get out of control.

Somehow I doubt Scotty suddenly became a cop hating crazy person on a dark wet morning trying to get to the golf course for his tee time at a Major championship. He wasn’t drunk, he wasn’t a fugitive, he was arrested by an angry cop. I’m not buying the cop’s story.

I’ve been saying this from day one, when ESPN had been reporting on the situation and then the Louisville PD came out with a statement. There was a huge discrepancy between what had already been reported (from witnesses) and how the Police Department characterized the incident. This case is a complete sham…but in a way, I HOPE it goes to trial so this prosecutor can get torn to shreds by Scheffler’s attorney!

Gillis is a DETECTIVE, so guaranteed he was pissed off for having to do Lowly traffic detail 😮

If this can happen to Scottie Sheffler in a beautiful car going into a golf course, the rest of us should hide under the covers and never come out.

When the initial reports and footage came out, the whole situation didn’t add up. Cop dragged, no body cam footage, tossing Scottie in jail and overzealous officers.

The person shouldn’t be a police officer if he can’t control his temper.

There’s no situation that cops won’t make worse. There’s no situation that cops won’t escalate from minor to major. There’s no molehill that cops won’t make into a mountain. There’s no situation that cops won’t lie about to cover their assess when they realize they’ve screwed the pooch. I suspect that all the charges were made up, out of retaliation, because the cop got butt hurt. Edit: of course, all charges have now been dropped, so why isn’t the cop charge with false imprisonment and false charges?

the Prosecutor is as corrupt as the Police... the "Officer" committed false arrest, false imprisonment, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, mis-malfeasance, falsifying charges, falsifying government documents, deprivation of rights; the "Officer" is also the sole cause if 95% of his injuries latching onto a moving automobile when he could have (being an accident scene recreation expert) instead pounded on the hood or trunk to get the driver's attention... the Prosecutor is also REQUIRED to disclose exculpatory evidence, AND prosecute the "Officer" if there is evidence of the "Officers" wrong doing... If there is any true Justice the "Officer" should not be being treated as thought everything he did was lawful, and everything Scottie did was unlawful...🤔

Seems like the cop overreacted and LMPD is getting ahead of it with the internal investigation.. I imagine all charges will be dropped

Clearly Scottie has no motive or intent to injure police. It’s obviously a misunderstanding. Punish those with intent to harm. The police are looking very foolish

The true test of what Scottie is all about is he NEVER said a negative untoward thing about the Looneyville Popo.....CLASS ACT 💯!

My hubby was a policeman in high crime areas of NYC for 20 years. Sometimes he would take a kid home to the parents rather than give the kid a record, He often bought meals for panhandlers and told them they they couldn’t bother people again or he would have to arrest them. He helped women get to shelters away from abusive men, he delivered babies, took sick babies & parents to hospitals when he thought the kids were critically ill . He used he gun 2 times but only when he was being shot at. That was back in the day when cops had proper training in keeping the peace but no college degrees. No excuse for what happened to Scottie in upscale Louisville.

The fact that the officers can’t produce body cam footage is grounds for immediate dismissal

Typical cop: overly aggressive, hyper sensitive (super ego, easily bruised), violent to the nth degree, exceedingly controlling, manipulative, dishonest, etc. When they don't get their, or things don't go their way ,or when things don't happen the way the way the thing or perceive they should, they just apoplectic.

Officer Gillis, you see that little red light flashing in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light, it just went in to overdrive...

I think the policy they are referring to might be the officer's lack of use of his body camera. The cop is making some huge claims that he should be able to prove if he had his body cam on. So I guess the cop thinks we should just take his word that he was dragged. Sounds like a bogus claim and I bet it ends in Scotty paying a fine and it's over. I hope they move the PGA tournament somewhere else. One pedestrian killed and Scotty jailed is too much to have happen.

Former LEO here....cops are often full of shit. Especially when there feelings are hurt. I witnessed it too much. I got out and went back to school.

The Louisville police conveniently had there body cams off. Who knows what actually happened. Scotties and Bob's account differs from officer Gillas.

Scottie was directed to proceed by an officer who was on duty there already as part of traffic detail directing players into the golf course entrance, but was stopped by Gillis who was there for the sole purpose of assisting with the accident investigation... It was a huge misunderstanding. Scottie was following protocol and should not have been detained in the first place... If there had not been an accident, gillis would not have been there And this would not have happened...

Failure to identify as a police officer is going to be what brings the officer down.

I had a very similar incident happen to me in the mid 80's when I was in my early/mid 20's like Scottie. I was a newly graduated Aerospace Engineer and had been in Dallas/Ft. Worth for work and had just returned to Orlando on a late night flight. I was exhausted and driving north out of OIA I encountered a large wreck at an intersection of a busy 4 lane highway (State road 436) Blue lights were flashing and cops were everywhere directing traffic...some how I went brain dead and drove right past a cop directing me and turned left into the crash scene...I was putting along at about 5 or 10 mph trying to figure out where I should be going and to make sure I didn't hit any of the pedestrians that were all about and was just trying to get by on the edge of the road, when next thing I know a cop was running beside me beating on my car. I immediately stopped and the cop was screaming at me....i tried to get my window down and was trying to figure out what was going on and he opens my car door open and jerks me out of the car and starts trying to handcuff me. I had spent four years in the Marines and had held a brown belt in Okinawan Judo and some of that kicked in and I instinctively resisted his attempt to handcuff me and for a brief nano second had him in a hold to lead to a judo hip throw, but I stopped way before that and just asked him to tell me what is going on. By then a Seargent was on scene and I had regained my composure and let him cuff me and put me in the cruiser. Long story short I ended up being taken to jail and booked for some very similar sounding charges as Scotty. I recognized I got confused and went the wrong way as I was directed but I meant no malice and i was pretty pissed about how and why it escalated. I got a lawyer and he ended up threatening to sue the department for wrongful arrest and given my military service and being an Aerospace Engineer with Orlando's 2nd largest employer and having no criminal record they dismissed everything except the charge of not following a police officer's traffic directions. I generally support the blue but some of the guys out there seem to have forgot they are to protect and serve.

The police version and the actual version always differ.

These eye witnesses are professional commentators that describe what they see in intricate detail for a living. Now when the police is involved they are using uncommitted language , their view was obstructed , it was dark and raining. The officer may have stumbled , the officer was enthusiastic ?

The over charging is such a stupid strategy in this case and will backfire on the cops and prosecutor. Hopefully leading to an inquiry of the entire PD and command.😢

Is it proper police procedure to try and stop a car with your body? Seriously they doubt they teach that at the Academy. Something stinks like yesterday's garbage

Buddy this is just Kentucky and the way it is here in Kentucky ( NO JOKE ) &. Let’s not forget that this is the same police department that likes to shoot first and ask questions later, just ask the family of Breonna Taylor ….anyone remember how that went down?

Look. Scottie deals with freaking moronic tournament volunteers on a daily basis on parking. It was raining on that morning. Cops uniform was covered. Scottie didn't know it was a cop.

People aren’t used to someone talking to you like cops do. Yelling and barking orders. It automatically pisses you off 😡 no body cam no charges 😡

The surveillance video shows the exact opposite of what the poor police victim says happened SMH

I watched the hearing on the motion. The arraignment was pushed back on a motion by Scheffler's lawyer because he was not consulted on the date. Had nothing to do with any evidence or anything else. He did mention they're trying to get exculpatory evidence to the prosecution. But that wasn't the reason it was pushed back. I'm sure Scheffler's lawyer would like to see the charges dropped before then, but the prosecution looks like they really want to go to trial with this. It's kind of bizarre. If the charges aren't dropped, there will likely be a probable cause hearing. I think there's a felony charge in there. Not sure why there's no grand jury for that charge. Maybe there will be, dunno.

This is simply ridiculous. I cannot believe it's gotten this far. Overzealous policing?

Also the police officer did not turn on his body camera which I believe the department said is required when approaching someone suspected of wrong doing.

Years ago Lee Trevino i thought said he would never come back to Louisville. I wondered if it was the same kind of stuff, mob/dirty cops?

They have reported that this cop has been disciplined in the past for questionable arrests. And yet...here he still is. They just cover up for him instead of firing him

If I was Scotty Scheffler, I would let this go to trial. No jury in Kentucky is going to convict him based on the evidence, and having an acquittal will help with the civil suit. And he SHOULD file a civil suit. The corrupt prosecutor has already declined to drop the charges, indicating he wants to take it to trial... which will be funny.

If only the mayor would have spoke up for Briana Taylor like this.

So, a cop grabs onto a car and maybe gets pulled 60 feet before the car driver stops, is claiming that he was dragged and assaulted in the process. No matter how it went down, wasn't the cop the one who willingly latched onto the car and injured himself? How is that the driver's fault? And all this with his video cam shut off. Something stinks!

First cop spoke to scotty and waved him around. Plain clothesed cop freaks out when he sees scotty pulling around and gets butt hurt. End of story.

Why would anyone attempt to grab a car and hold on as it's pulling away?

Scheffler SUV had a Huge banners of the PGA Championship tournament affixed to both sides of his car, denoting him self as a participant in said tournament. The bus ahead of him was not moving because there was nobody in the bus that Scheffler drove around, and the ESPN crew were directly behind the bus that was essentially parked in the middle of the road. The front gate to enter the golf course was 30 feet away, and it was observed that Scheffler vehicle was moving barely faster than a walking pace.

" Respect my Authority " in a Cartman voice.

Louisville should be ashamed. I call for a boycott of the city. I will never go to that dump of a city until they drop the ridiculous charges. If they continue to take this further I'll never visit that city again.

The initial police officer didn't have their body camera turned on. That's what policy he potentially violated. Louisville police are supposed to initiate their body cameras any time they are doing police work outside of their vehicles. So any traffic police should have had their body cameras on the entire time they were working traffic.

Where is the police body cam video?

wait.. you thought that scheffer's arrest look like he was treated like some major criminal? you've never been to America?

A nice concise summary of the situation, including what where when why with a nice editorial opinion on why the arraignment may have been delayed.

Cops do as they please. And prosecutors do as they please. Our country is not as it may seem.

That cop will probably lose his job. No body cam footage. Witnesses contradict the police report. All the money behind golf and Scotty. Yup. He's gone

As an Australian. The US policing and justice system is full on.

body cams show the truth. not using them insinuates the truth of the situation is being hidden.

Stacking up many false charges has been a tactic of law enforcement for 2 decades. Done so you will plead down and get other charges to stick. No rational person grabs a car and lets it drag them. That’s like a soldier grabbing a tank to make it stop. This same situation happened to a friend of mine at a college basketball tournament where cops were forcing people to turn right but he didn’t understand and went straight to the Interstate. They chased him down and hit him with 5 charges for going straight one of which was attempted assault by vehicle. He was a city counsel board member. Not one charge stuck because they refused to plead to anything. Cops who want to demonstrate power are a danger to society.

No passport to leave America to play British open haha

Police are the worst. ‘Dragged by car’ is what happens wken you attach yourself to someone’s car. Not sure how that adds another charge. Let go next time. They’re supposed to de escalate situations.

This what you get for sharing your faith on a global public platform? This crossed my mind.

I was in a Franklin Scandal style group home close to the golf course. It was called Bellewood Group Home in Anchorage Kentucky. Anchorage public schools knew about the abuse and when I reported it to them they threatened my life. I saw Anchorage police remove kids bodies for disposal. Jefferson County Police, who later merged with LMPD, new about it.

You know he's gonna get off?There's different laws for politicians actors and athletes.

He will plead to something very minor and pay a fine to save face. Scottie just isn’t that guy to pull this kind of stuff. I’m no fan of Scottie’s but he’s a good guy and this was a cop power tripping and did it to wrong person. Just think how often things like this happen when they aren’t famous.

I am sure that this is a very accurate description of what happened. I just can't imagine a PGA professional behaving in this manner right before he was to warm up for one of the biggest PGA events in the USA. I guarantee you that Det. Gillis was quite full of himself that day and overreacted when Scheffle appeared to disobey his instructions. Most police officers are good people, but every department in this country has 1 or 2 guys like Gillis who are dying to make sure that you know they are in charge. Scheffle will have the charges dropped and some sort of a fine will be paid by Scheffle to save Det. Gillis and his department from the embarrassment of his overly aggressive with the PGA pro.

When my wife and I travel north to Illinois every couple of years, we always go through Louisville and I've always been tempted to get off the interstate as the visible late 19th century architecture is quite appealing. But, if there's any danger of an encounter with the LMPD, I think I'll keep going and avoid the possibility of any negative experience.

When you ask if it's uncharacteristic for them to arrest him, uncharacteristic for whom, Scottie or the officer. Probably business as usual for the officers treating the public like criminals before they get their facts. I'm the officers comments, I did not hear once where he announced himself as a police officer.

When is something going to be done with the policing of this nation? They are public servants but act like thugs.

Dashcam.... protect yourself and other drivers around you. This stuff happens fast and your dashcam can save your ass! Unless you are the trouble maker...lol...then you've cooked yourself.

There's no need for eye witnesses, they have the footage on the cam across the street. The cop RAN INTO the side of Scheffler's vehicle and got himself caught in the side view mirror for 1 second before Scheffler even realized he was there and stopped. Goes to court, thrown out 5 minutes after the video is played.

The video from across the street did not show any reckless driving did not show the police officer being dragged did not show any crime whatsoever, no felony no misdemeanors!. End of story!

They are going to need to drop the charges or allow him to plead to some meaningless offense. Whether or not Scheffler was in the wrong is kind of beside the point at this juncture, he's a well respected, high profile athlete and there is already speculation of extenuating circumstances and police misconduct. No police department or city attorney wants the smoke that will come with Scheffler's top tier legal team turning over every single shred of departmental information that they can subpoena while the media hounds for interviews and hot takes from anyone that breathes.

Prosecutor and mayor thinking they need to show there was no special treatment for a celebrity. Instead, what they have is a lying, ego-filled tyrant. Apologize and drop the charges.

LMPD's disciplinary protocol is to cover up wrongdoing.

"Causing him to be dragged", proves the officer is unfit for duty. The sheriff needs to review this officer's previous cases as well as the office atmosphere is creating fear and anger toward the public, you are to Sever.

We already know the cop didn’t have body cam . He should be fired just for that . The cop pulled huge power trip . I will bet that cop gets fired and you will find he has other complaints against him.

Why would an officer be 'enthusiastic' about arresting someone. Enthusiasm implies you are happy about doing something, so WTFFF. I still think it is interesting- and something the defense will bring up- is that we, the public have never seen any evidence of Gillis. We dont know what Gillis face looks like.

He had every reason to believe he had a right to enter the golf course and no reason to believe the guy in a yellow rain jacket was a cop. More likely an overzealous volunteer.

This happened to the world #1 golfer… imagine if you’re just an average Joe 🤣

OOPS! My body cam wasn't working.

Good thing Tiger didn’t do that cuz he woulda got Rodney King’d.

I’m sorry, but the police made the mistake here; the first officer told him to proceed, so Scotty was just following orders from him. The second officer should have confirmed via his radio, if in fact, Scottie was given those instructions. I think the second cop is at fault here, and maybe he needs to be reprimanded. Either way, it is the actions of an overly zealous cop? 🫵😬

They have a habit of loosing what don't want shown,yes case dismissed.

15 years ago i was an out of towner ticketed for going 70 in a 55 .......the speed sign i saw had a tree limb over it ....all i could see was the five ......it was 65 the next sign i saw ......this was on North 71 .....180 dollars ....F Louisville 😮

Leave it to Louisville to make a bad situation even worse…the AG should have settled this before now

No Major PGA Golf Tournament or any Major Sporting Event should ever be held in Louisville again after the treatment of Scottie Scheffler by the authorities there.

Bob “Wa-SHOE-zen”. Excellent announcer with one of the smoothest voices in sport.

Scheffler’s attorney asked for the extension on the arraignment until June 3

Saying that he was dragged by Scotty Scheffler is a monstrous allegation. That is something that’s worthy of a prison sentence if you had a officer on your car and you were dragging him. It sounded so outlandish from the start, this guy needs to be scrutinized, and if his story is clearly false, he needs to be fired immediately..

I thought BARNEY FIFE died, apparently not!!!

Do you think the pig may have attached himself to the PGA car, designated to get a driver pass to the tournament, with his handcuffs? I think that is what happened. As the pig said he was dragged. Thus makes sense to me. He handcuffed himself to the mirror or maybe the doorknob.

I hope the police wants to take this to court. embarrass these lying cops further.

I am expected to believe that no other Police Officer saw their co-worker being dragged. Why did no other Police Officer have their body camera on.

Does anyone really think Scheffler would keep driving if this cop was being dragged along? That’s ridiculous. The cop is lying though his teeth, first because his enormous cop ego was bruised and now because he has to continue the lie to keep from being exposed as a corrupt liar.

The fact that this overzealous jackass cop didn’t see that Scottie was in a clearly marked courtesy car and could have been told to go ahead and proceed to the course, but instead chose to show his authority tells me everything I need to know. Regardless of the outcome the PGA of America should publicly announce that they will no longer have their tournament at Valhalla ever again.

They probably pushed the court date back to figure out what to do after the footage was released that showed the cops made up the whole thing

This golf course should never be awarded another major championship.

“He was taken away harshly”, no this was actually quite civilized for the Police in the US

Just because he's Scottie Scheffler doesn't mean he should get any preferential treatment. Either we have the same laws for everyone, or we have a 2 tiered justice system which is what banana republics have.

Scottie assaulted no one.

Cops like to never admit any wrong doing and press as many charges possible in cases like this

When are the tax payers of Louisville gone to replace the Mayor & Police Chief for hiring and training this buffoon.

Way I look at it is that if it had been a normal guy, we would not be talking about this!
