I lived 1/2 mile up the hill going towards Shelbyville. Louisville PD once again makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. My condolences to the family who lost their loved one. That is not a stretch of road people should be walking. There is a 4ft ditch directly off the side of the road and then a steep embankment. There is no where for a pedestrian to get out of àthe way of an oncoming car. I walked that stretch of road every day for 3 months. Most dangerous road Ive ever walked.
Excitable cop arrests someone that can afford the lawyers to show what really happened. How many poor guys are sitting in jail because they couldn’t pay the legal fees. This is one the police won’t get away with
Southern cops, 'nuff said. The MOST bizarre part of this whole deal is that Scheffler got a police escort back to Valhalla so he could make his tee time!!
Everyone knows what this was. A cop on a power trip that made bad decisions that cost the world’s number 1 ranked player undue stress. That detective picked the wrong one this time and he brought the world’s attention to the situation he caused.
We will never see it. If there was any footage it has been "lost". I wasn't there, I don't know what happened. I do know he didn't have enough fame to be instantly recognized and he didn't say "I'm the #1 player in the world". If he had been recognized he wouldn't have been put in cuffs and we would have never heard of this incident. If there is miraculously any footage I would love to see it. Everyone needs a dashcam nowadays as cops lie. A lot. Just watch some videos on YT and there thousands where the guy with the camera is saved from several felonies by a camera. Because the officer lied.
I hope we do get to see it one day. But the guy above me is probably right, Georgia police are notorious for muting and conveniently "forgetting to turn on" their body cams.
Lots of this fake you don't do All this what Scottie sheffler Get in a jumpsuit than be release why wasn't Donald Trump in a orange jumpsuit than released
Not for all the charges but Because they charged him for assault and they know that because they didnt claim he hit the officer. The cop made a mistake by jumping on the car. They have body cam. They should and will be embarrassed for over exaggerating his charges and down playing the officers choice to grab the car lol.
Kudos to Rich for 1) Making sure that from the start the bigger tragedy was the man who died in the accident. 2) For giving both sides of the story without speculating or making a judgment as to who is right or wrong.
Apparently, most of the rubes commenting here know exactly what went down. Everybody has to be right these days even when they don't have all the facts.

@@drancealot ...your own comment indicates the problem in our society. Without the media witnessing exactly what happened, LE could have LIED and spun this situation anyway they wanted...and it would have been incredibly unfavorable of Scotty Scheffler. INSTEAD, based on the accurate reporting of the media, all these charges will probably be DISMISSED by a level-headed savvy Prosecutor, and local cops will wind up looking like buffoons. Thank GOD the media was there as witnesses to the authentic event. Maybe the "failure to follow traffic command sticks, but even that is due to the fact the cop FAILED to see it was an Official Event vehicle.
@dranceot for real, I don’t think the cops planned on being there either since they were only there cause a man just got killed by a shuttle bus.. it’s an active crime scene and he didn’t listen to police and started going into the one way direction that traffic was going against him. Then still driving with a cop on the vehicle is just inexcusable. Ppl wanna say “why was the cop on the Car” maybe they should look up video of other situations where cops do the same thing, I’ve seen traffic stops where they’re holding onto the window as the suspect tries to drive off, they’re not trying to let them get away. Scottie dragged the cop 20 yards, that’s definitely assault, imagine if the cop was ran over and killed, you think ppl would still be defending him over it? Probably because they just hate cops because the narrative the media portrays them as and the passes they give pro athletes and celebrities just because they’re famous
Not really. All people are required to comply with legally given commands from the police. There was a crime scene, someone died, possibly other injuries. This guy going to work is a far distant priority. Imagine you were in a traffic accident and were injured. Would you want people driving through?
I had a similar incident about 15 years ago. It was a checkpoint and the cop waved me on and at the last second he screamed stop and i did and the cop proceeded to scream at me and harass me for 30 minutes before letting me proceed. We'll have to see the video but i can definitely see a misunderstanding happening. I dont think people should rush to judgment until we get all the details.
I know what you mean, I had something worse and then you never forget it. Had a lot of respect for police before the incident, never have had since. Cops are just the worst idiots you went to school - nobody else would do that job nowadays.
Important point. How long does it take to drive 15 yards at 10 MPH? About 4 seconds (if I have my math right now). So the officer does something stupid and Scotty realizes the situation and stops in 4 seconds. Pretty fast reaction.
Math here is off. Usain Bolt can run faster than 20 mph, but he only runs about 11 yards per second in the 100 meter dash. If you stop 15 yards later while driving 10 mph, it takes more like 3 seconds to stop.
10mph is 14.7 feet per second. So, it takes longer than a second to go 30-45 ft at 10mph. Do not mistake this to mean that I'm justifying the actions of the police. They were on a total tyrannical ego trip, and I hope plainclothes detective a$$hat loses his job. Though I seriously doubt that outcome in louisville.
As retired police officer in a senior executive position I can almost guarantee this is a situation that could have been avoided with sufficient supervision on the scene. This is a case of pissing of the police (POP) that should have been met with a citation given the circumstances. No probably an off-duty detail for the Louisville Police officers and any and all arrests should have a supervisor on the scene capable of discretion.
Very good info thanks for posting. My question is, this officer was a detective so hypothetically isn't he considered a superior to the rank and file officers already on the scene, and if so, would the local PD typically have a higher level person at a big/high profile event like this?
Not necessarily. Depends on the department. Some departments detectives are merely senior police officers, subordinate to sergeants (excluding detective sergeants) that conduct investigations. Some agencies detectives have some "authority" over others, within the parameters of a specific investigation. Detectives are often hired to work off-duty details, such as this golf tournament, with duties unrelated to their position in the department (e.g. traffic enforcement, executive protection). It is possible this detective was "on-duty" working the traffic fatality scene. I cannot imagine any circumstance that Scheffler would've made it from the site of the arrest, through the booking procedure and into a cell without a significantly high ranking member of the PD being apprised of the situation.
@@willlazenby1050Not necessarily. It depends on the department. I worked for 10 years and have never required permission or supervisor approval to make an arrest. The detective may have been working overtime or was simply available for the detail rather than taking someone from patrol off of the street. Just speculation.

@@spike23s12ALL golfers were told to proceed to the course. The cop was not dressed in cop clothes. It was rainy early morning dark and some crazy guy is trying to smash your window. Cops fault all the way. Golfer was going 2-8 mph and was in a marked PGA courtesy vehicle and was told to go through. Cop is in trouble.
@@spike23s12 what is the law exactly? According to multiple stories, cars with proper credentials were told to pass through, you know because there is a tournament… it’s all about egos and lack of situational awareness…
You do know this is the fourth time Valhalla has hosted a PGA Championship, right? And this same city hosts the largest horse race in the world just a week before. I think this is what happens when panic ensues following a tragic situation (a pedestrian died).
The part everyone leaves out is that there was a driverless bus blocking the gate. That's why Scottie drove around. As the older host said, he drives past security guards all the time to enter
Just possibly/tangentially related: Traffic cops lose their minds when people don't obey. Approaching accidents and construction zones, I have had insane exchanges with admittedly overworked and frustrated cops. driving all over the U.S. for 40 years.
Why can't cops like this one maintain their anger and act like professionals? what is going on where we see angry cops harassing and bullying and worse because they believe they were disrespected. you don't get respect just because you are playing cop, you get respect by your actions.
It’s the best thing that could have happened to Scottie. His personality is so quiet that outside of golf he’s unknown. His popularity will grow, the memes will increase, probably get on the Tonight Show out of it, comedians will tell jokes about it. Popularity = endorsement $s while the policeman will get his $80 pants and be shamed for life.
1 cop told him to go knowing hes a player, the other didnt and freaked out. Theyre claiming he "assaulted" the officer to cover up their mistake. This isnt new, just happened to be a somebody with a solid character rep.
this is VALHALLA. Much bigger than scotty scheffler...Back the Blue! “Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states. The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states." should have been kept in jail for longer
@@MCGGolfaholics-gp9sm You act like police reports aren't fabricated all the time. The multiple eye witnesses said Scottie was complying with another officer and this cop came out of nowhere and grabbed his car. Police have a tough job but don't think for a second that they always tell the truth.
So he essentially decided to drive around cops to avoid the bottle neck. Was asked to stop, and didn't do it until 10 yards later, with this Officer "holding" on the car. It does not matter what PGA credentials were on the car. Period. All that said, assaulting the officer is a major overreach.
Big ego cops can't de-escalate, throw the book at upstanding citizen, same old story. At least this citizen has the means to defend himself. Others are out of luck.
Yes, this is kind of a strange story and talk about padding the charges for a guy trying to go to work...And what is the deal with all of the Mustang sport Police cars being used by the Kentucky Police. Have you ever gotten in the back of a Mustang. Remind me to be careful if I ever travel down there...
So far as what's been reported, given that there was a fatality outside the golf course, Scottie should have been more patient and followed the rules of the road. Regardless if he is the #1 golfer in the world, rules apply to everyone.
“Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states. The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states." scotty should have stayed in jail for 4 days..at least
this is anecdotal so take it for what its worth, but i have first hand experience of cops waving their hands directing you forward and then suddenly changing their hand signals and yelling at you to stop as if you were disobeying a previous order
Looking forward to more info on this coming out. To begin with, with what we can see, it was dark, there was rain, the police rain jackets didn't clearly show that they're police. I can see how this misunderstanding would easily have happened.
They treated this man like a regular person and they tried to swing their weight in that manipulated report... Def some police exaggeration. Now that they found out that its Scottie this will all magically disappear. I also have this feeling that the arresting officer will have career issues.
Love how you didn’t bash the cops, Rich!! You looked at it rationally and stated you weren’t there and you Don’t Really know what happened. Much luv and respect!! 👍🏼
From what I have heard, one cop was telling him to go on, another officer interjected himself into the situation and Scheffler did not see him and was just going by what the first officer told him to do. I trust Scheffler more than the Louisville police. They actually charged him a with a felony because some idiot cop decided to jump on his car while he was moving.
@@jkhoover and risk ruining his career? I have a hard time believing he would be that arrogant. Sounds like it was a misunderstanding that the cops escalated as usual. I'll believe a pro athlete over a stupid local cop most of the time, but there are exceptions.
@@frankpalancio8471 Do you want me to show you a hundred videos of cops trying to deescalate a situation? There's no "per usual".

Hopefully the actual Truth will prevail. Eye witness and video should clear up this matter. No way Scottie had any intention of any wrongdoing.Thanks Rich for keeping it real.
According to reports, the booking Officer recorded the following items from Scottie: One gold watch One alligator skin wallet Master Card American Express Gold Card Visa, Diner's Club, Carte Blanche Two tickets... La Bohéme, to which Scottie replied- it's an opera.
You forgot, “One cellophane bag.” “That’s not mine!” “This is PCP-phencyclidine. Do you know what this stuff does to kids? You’re looking at 3-5 mandatory, Scottie”
Thank you LMPD for ensuring that the city of Louisville is now safe from Scottie Scheffler. Welcome to Louisville! Please remember to collect your souvenir mugshot before leaving.
Can any members of Law Enforcement hop in and give us your jurisdictions protocol? Is it normal to attach yourself to a moving car over a minor traffic infringement? I thought most police would just alert other officers then issue a citation.

@@pubmeatmanAnd the sad part is you're a conservative going off about government overreach, and this is the perfect example, and you're siding with the cops. Classic.
@@draneym2003 conservatives are generally in favor of limited government
@@jkhooverScheffler is the star of the show. He should have been allowed into the golf course. It's that simple.
8:55 Rich I really appreicate this. There are so many quick to speculate and develop their own narrative. Thank you.
Somewhere in Dubai there’s a Sheik rubbing his hands like Birdman watching this…
First off the cop couldn’t stop a SUV by jumping on it. Some people never need to be cops.
He did stop it.
The police said Scottie damaged the cops pants “beyond repair”
The officer should have seen that the car was marked as a "Player" and waived Scottie through. What an 🫏
Seriously... why even bother marking the cars if they aren't gonna read them...
The police commissioner getting his membership revoked lolz
Obey the law!!
@@spike23s12 Obey my rights.
Like my right to carry. Zzz.
@@spike23s12ALL golfers were told to proceed to the course. The cop was not dressed in cop clothes. It was rainy early morning dark and some crazy guy is trying to smash your window. Cops fault all the way. Golfer was going 2-8 mph and was in a marked PGA courtesy vehicle and was told to go through. Cop is in trouble.
@@happy777abc what’s your source? I’m not saying i don’t believe you but you’re literally contradicting every single point in this report
@@spike23s12 what is the law exactly? According to multiple stories, cars with proper credentials were told to pass through, you know because there is a tournament… it’s all about egos and lack of situational awareness…
“I have no idea what happened”. Proceeds to read a fully detailed police report.
This is what happens when you play a major in a 3rd world state.
100%
I doubt Kentucky will see another PGA event thanks to Rambo.
The state song is the theme song from Deliverance.
You do know this is the fourth time Valhalla has hosted a PGA Championship, right? And this same city hosts the largest horse race in the world just a week before. I think this is what happens when panic ensues following a tragic situation (a pedestrian died).
@@emorywilliamson7239 and probably its last.
Sounds like typical LMPD behavior.
This is the same police department that shot Brianna Taylor in her home, and no one was found guilty of a crime.
Surprised they weren't all chilling next to a fender bender on the 2nd street bridge
@@catherinewilliams9680Exactly, and the excuses given for that cop were endless. But now everyone is up in arms because a golfer got detained.
Every time we think they have it together.....
Scottie wearing Rickie Fowler orange today!
Nothing but class with this review of the situation.👏
Back the blue until they happen to you.
jealous ego cops on the loose again
I hope body cams were on. Can't wait to watch that and see the truth
The police are going to destroy the body cam vid
I wouldn’t be surprised if the body cam was under the rain vest…
Sounds like the cop saw an opportunity for a medical retirement/lawsuit and grabbed it with both hands
I worked in law enforcement, and I've never thought about attaching myself to a vehicle. Who does that? He wasn't trained to do that.
The part everyone leaves out is that there was a driverless bus blocking the gate. That's why Scottie drove around. As the older host said, he drives past security guards all the time to enter
Who gave them permission to block the entrance?
My conspiracy theory is the officer knew Scotty and was working for a future lawsuit jackpot.
A police escord back to the golf course. I think the police have a lot of explaining to do. Can't wait to hear that press conference.
Just possibly/tangentially related: Traffic cops lose their minds when people don't obey.
Approaching accidents and construction zones, I have had insane exchanges with admittedly overworked and frustrated cops. driving all over the U.S. for 40 years.
you mean overpaid
This is the most insane story I’ve ever seen in the history of professional golf.
Some cop was probably on a power trip
Using probably, meaning you are guessing. Stop guessing.
And there's no chance that a rich golf pro, currently at the top of the game, couldn't have been on a power trip???
@@drexlspivey3047 What's the harm in guessing. That's how discoveries are made. Heck it's part of the scientific process. 1)Guess 2)Test.
@@jkhooverwell he was trying to get to work.
@@davidchoate512 And the police were investigating a deadly crash, but the rich golfer has to get to work. What's your point?
Police are out of there mind
...their...
Why can't cops like this one maintain their anger and act like professionals? what is going on where we see angry cops harassing and bullying and worse because they believe they were disrespected. you don't get respect just because you are playing cop, you get respect by your actions.
He's lucky he didn't get ventilated these guys are wound up like 8 day clocks. " he accelerated away".....that's the standard police hyperbole.
Seriously - he could have been going 5 mph and still technically been "accelerating" lol
Over zealous traffic cop. Shocker.
No it was a detective that was probably mad he was on traffic duty!
@@kylem6370 that was not what was reported by witnesses including ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington
Plainclothes detective - should have had zero authority. Total pig power trip.
It’s the best thing that could have happened to Scottie. His personality is so quiet that outside of golf he’s unknown. His popularity will grow, the memes will increase, probably get on the Tonight Show out of it, comedians will tell jokes about it. Popularity = endorsement $s while the policeman will get his $80 pants and be shamed for life.
He was rattled by the question.."did you name drop to get out of the arrest?" Cant wait for the body cam 😅😂
My God, this is ridiculous. They should drop all charges.
1 cop told him to go knowing hes a player, the other didnt and freaked out. Theyre claiming he "assaulted" the officer to cover up their mistake. This isnt new, just happened to be a somebody with a solid character rep.
PGA will never be at that place again lolol
this is VALHALLA. Much bigger than scotty scheffler...Back the Blue! “Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states.
The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states." should have been kept in jail for longer
@@MCGGolfaholics-gp9sm You act like police reports aren't fabricated all the time. The multiple eye witnesses said Scottie was complying with another officer and this cop came out of nowhere and grabbed his car. Police have a tough job but don't think for a second that they always tell the truth.
@@juicemann2171 they hardly ever tell the absolute truth. It is always shaded in their favor. Trust that.
@@MCGGolfaholics-gp9sm In other words, "Oink, oink."
@@MCGGolfaholics-gp9sm Barney Fife escalated the situation unnecessarily and foolishly
Yes when officers clothes are ripped
or equipment is broke in an incident you have to put the value in the report so it can be reimbursed.
So he essentially decided to drive around cops to avoid the bottle neck. Was asked to stop, and didn't do it until 10 yards later, with this Officer "holding" on the car. It does not matter what PGA credentials were on the car. Period. All that said, assaulting the officer is a major overreach.
Big ego cops can't de-escalate, throw the book at upstanding citizen, same old story.
At least this citizen has the means to defend himself.
Others are out of luck.
Wait a minute... Shane Gillis attached himself to Scottie's car? This gets more incredible by the minute!! 😂
This would never happen at Oak Hill.
Yes, this is kind of a strange story and talk about padding the charges for a guy trying to go to work...And what is the deal with all of the Mustang sport Police cars being used by the Kentucky Police. Have you ever gotten in the back of a Mustang. Remind me to be careful if I ever travel down there...
So far as what's been reported, given that there was a fatality outside the golf course, Scottie should have been more patient and followed the rules of the road. Regardless if he is the #1 golfer in the world, rules apply to everyone.
I hope the officer loses his job and Scottie sues
I feel bad for the person killed in the accident. No one says anything about him.
“Subject refused to comply and accelerated forward, dragging Detective Gillis to the ground,” the report states.
The detective suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee and was taken to the hospital for further treatment, the report states." scotty should have stayed in jail for 4 days..at least
this is anecdotal so take it for what its worth, but i have first hand experience of cops waving their hands directing you forward and then suddenly changing their hand signals and yelling at you to stop as if you were disobeying a previous order
When a cop says, "STOP!" you stop. Should be the same for everyone. And you can't drive away - 10' or 20 yards with a police officer on your car.
Then mansplain the cop that emptied his clip when an acorn fell on his hood.
All he had to do was comply… right? It’s never the officers fault. VJ Singh would have gotten tased at the minimum
Hahaha
It seems like a misunderstanding in a chaotic traffic and access mess.
LMPD sucks
Coming from a person that's probably broken the law
Sounds like a pissed off Detective that was mad he was working traffic control.
Looking forward to more info on this coming out. To begin with, with what we can see, it was dark, there was rain, the police rain jackets didn't clearly show that they're police. I can see how this misunderstanding would easily have happened.
Kentucky Rain keeps pouring down. In the cold Kentucky rain.
Charges will probably be dropped and the cop fired
Charges will almost certainly be dropped, but I wouldn't hold your breath about the cop being fired.
Held for an hour, long enough to put on an orange jumpsuit, get a picture, then change out of the jumpsuit and go to the golf course? Crazy situation.
They treated this man like a regular person and they tried to swing their weight in that manipulated report... Def some police exaggeration. Now that they found out that its Scottie this will all magically disappear. I also have this feeling that the arresting officer will have career issues.
He should have career issues, but likely won't.
“The hellscape known as x”. Brilliant.
Yeah but what do you think abt the Falcons drafting Penix?
😂😂
Love how you didn’t bash the cops, Rich!! You looked at it rationally and stated you weren’t there and you Don’t Really know what happened. Much luv and respect!! 👍🏼
From what I have heard, one cop was telling him to go on, another officer interjected himself into the situation and Scheffler did not see him and was just going by what the first officer told him to do. I trust Scheffler more than the Louisville police. They actually charged him a with a felony because some idiot cop decided to jump on his car while he was moving.
Also the guy that got on his car was a detective and was probably in plain clothes.
A plainclothes cop, at that. Louisville is a $hithole, made even worse by a tyrannical and corrupt PD.
Gotta be video to tell the real story. Everyone chill until we get the whole story
The way Rich so casually says "attatched himself to the car"😂
Local cops gone wild. . He clearly ID himself in a PGA marked car. Why would he purposely disregard the cops?
Let me give it a shot...
Because rich famous people don't think laws apply to them???
@@jkhooverbrother he was in a marked car trying to get to warm up for his morning round. This is obviously a rogue cop
@@jkhoover and risk ruining his career? I have a hard time believing he would be that arrogant. Sounds like it was a misunderstanding that the cops escalated as usual. I'll believe a pro athlete over a stupid local cop most of the time, but there are exceptions.
@@frankpalancio8471 Do you want me to show you a hundred videos of cops trying to deescalate a situation? There's no "per usual". Yes, entitled people don't think about their career when they're being entitled. It could be the cop, but it could definitely be Scheffler who was the problem. No one knows at this point.
@@JC-hq7iu None of that means you can run a police barricade while they're investigating a traffic accident and a death, if that's what happened.
Hopefully the actual Truth will prevail. Eye witness and video should clear up this matter. No way Scottie had any intention of any wrongdoing.Thanks Rich for keeping it real.
That cop is a disgrace and he already got exposed, almost for sure he tries to file a disability claim with the PD.
I appreciate you not commenting on a situation where you have little facts. I wish you would have held that same wisdom regarding a couple of kickers.
He's lucky he didn't get shot.
Well he immediately saw he was white so…
According to reports, the booking Officer recorded the following items from Scottie:
One gold watch
One alligator skin wallet Master Card
American Express Gold Card
Visa, Diner's Club, Carte Blanche
Two tickets...
La Bohéme, to which Scottie replied- it's an opera.
You forgot, “One cellophane bag.” “That’s not mine!” “This is PCP-phencyclidine. Do you know what this stuff does to kids? You’re looking at 3-5 mandatory, Scottie”
What happened to the person who died?
They died.
I'm ashamed that I chuckled at that....but it was the only correct answer.
Imagine your death results in the felony arrest of the best golfer in the world and you’re not around to know about it.
Rich saying he has no Earthly idea of what happened is the best thing he could have said and allows him to report further on this with credibility.
I'm not playing golf in a place called Valhalla. People wear bright fluorescent vest in the morning
My cousin sent me the mug shot and I was convinced he was gaslighting me. Boy was I wrong
The megalomania it takes be a cop is on full display here.
So what good are credentials if those in a position to secure that gate DON'T CHECK CREDENTIALS
he's lucky he isn't a poor black person, or he wouldn't have left his car alive.
Thank you LMPD for ensuring that the city of Louisville is now safe from Scottie Scheffler. Welcome to Louisville! Please remember to collect your souvenir mugshot before leaving.
I’m reserving judgement until we see the bodycam footage. Sending prayers for the family of the person who lost their life.
Can any members of Law Enforcement hop in and give us your jurisdictions protocol? Is it normal to attach yourself to a moving car over a minor traffic infringement? I thought most police would just alert other officers then issue a citation.
