For clarity, Scottie wasn’t involved in the wreck. A fatal accident had occurred and therefore the police were stopping traffic. Scottie attempted to drive through the stop, apparently not realizing what was going on.

Scottie didn’t know oh Scottie didn’t no-o
Worst nightmare man. I'm not a Scottie fan but I really feel for him here. I can imagine he was thinking about his round and just assumed it was regular security. No way he was actually "trying to run over an officer" as it was said. I get that the police are doing their job and not faulting them at all. Just saying this appears to be a legit case of an unfortunate circumstance at the absolute worst possible time. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail once the dust settles. Surely they won't actually prosecute this.
Agree. I’d withdraw and go home and see my baby. Now he has to deal with this and 8,000 media questions. No way his head will be in right place to compete at a major this morning
Yep, somebody is definitely getting in trouble.
Michael Collins just said on SportsCenter that other golfers were allowed through without issue because their car markers were identified.

Police overstepped here…. No way an arrest was necessary
It’s about time. That hood rat had it coming.
Sky Sports just reported he has been released from detainment
You know someone is going to have one of the 'Jailbird' putters in his locker
On PGA Tour radio this morning they said they had gotten communication that players would be able to enter the course. He was in a marked player courtesy car. Bad scene all the way around.
Overzealous PD. Dude was proud to say they were taking him to jail.
Jeff Darlington posted that the police officer attempted to attach himself to Scottie’s car and when that happened he stopped the car and got out. The officer then proceeded to scream at him, shoved him against the car, and immediately cuffed him and put him in the back of a cruiser.
“
The officer grabbed Scheffler's arm to pull him out of the vehicle, according to Darlington. The officer reached inside the vehicle to open the door, and once Scheffler was pulled out, he was pushed against the car and placed in handcuffs.
Darlington was standing at the entrance when Scheffler was detained. Darlington said Scheffler turned to him and asked, "Can you help?"
According to Darlington, an officer instructed him to back away.
"You need to get out of the way," the officer told Darlington. "There's nothing you can do. Scottie Scheffler is going to jail."
If the body cam footage supports it's a BAD look for the PD for sure especially if he was in a marked player courtesy car.

Given where they were and what is happening there today - incredibly negligent and unnecessarily aggressive behavior by the police officer.
They didn’t know it was Scheffler. They asked Darlington after Scheffler was in the patrol car “do you know the name of the person that was just arrested?”
Marked courtesy car.
Louisville PD bout to pay out a big settlement. Will be very interesting to see the details on the officer(s) involved here as well.

Cop on a power trip like you read about. Louisville PD is a shitshow anyway.
Cop was absolutely on a power trip. He tried to pull him out of a window of a MARKED player courtesy car. Stop defending bad policing.
Sounds like Scheffler is not totally innocent here. Police told him to stop, he kept going. Policeman attached himself to the car and he still kept going. Maybe he didn’t understand what was going on, but if a uniformed officer/security guard tells you to stop and physically gets on/in front of your car you don’t keep driving.
I’m not defending at all. I was replying to the post where the police officer said “Scottie Scheffler is going to jail.” I was saying that they only said “he is going to jail”. According to the video from Darlington, they didn’t use his name.
See my other posts. This work by the Louisville PD is subpar and will face consequences.
Insane. Louisville is a cesspool & an embarrassment.

No, Scottie because he keeps murdering the field
By no means an attorney, but if Scottie is forced to WD because of this incident, could he theoretically sue for lost wages?
Heard he was playing Corey Smith’s “F*** the Popo” on the way to the course. Bad timing for sure.
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler says there was a ‘big misunderstanding’ in situation leading to his arrest
