Scottie Scheffler says he's ready to put his arrest in Louisville behind him after all of the charges against him were dropped on Wednesday.
Scheffler was arrested on the second day of the PGA Championship outside of Valhalla Golf Club.
Louisville Metro Police Department arrested him on May 17 after an officer said he disobeyed traffic orders and dragged Det. Bryan Gillis.
The area of Shelbyville Road near Valhalla was blocked off that morning because a security guard, John Mills, was hit and killed by a shuttle bus earlier.
Scheffler was charged with assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.
Wednesday afternoon, Scheffler said his attorney, Steve Romines, informed him that all charges were formally dismissed. Both sides agreed to the incident being a misunderstanding.
Scheffler issued the following statement on his Instagram story:
"As I stated previously, this was an unfortunate misunderstanding. I hold no ill will toward Officer Gillis. I wish to put this incident behind me and move on, and I hope he will do the same. Police officers have a difficult job and I hold them in high regard. This was a severe miscommunication in a chaotic situation.
"I appreciate the support during the past two weeks and want to again encourage everyone to remember the real tragedy of May 17. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with John Mills and his family, and I hope to personally offer my condolences now that the case is over. May John rest in peace."
The charges against Scheffler were dropped with prejudice, which means the decision is final.
