All charges against pro golfer Scottie Scheffler dropped

All charges against the world’s top golfer, Scottie Scheffler, have been dropped in Louisville.Jefferson County attorney Mike O'Connell filed a motion to dismiss the charges on Wednesday, and the judge immediately accepted.O'Connell said Scheffler calling the incident a "big misunderstanding" is accurate."The evidence we reviewed support the conclusion that Detective Gillis was concerned with public safety at the scene … However, Mr. Scheffler's actions and the evidence surrounding their exchange during their misunderstanding do not satisfy the elements of any criminal offenses," O'Connell said. The charges were dismissed with prejudice, which means the decision is final. LMPD later responded to the decision. “We respect the County Attorney’s decision, and we respect the judicial process. LMPD will remain focused on our mission to serve the city of Louisville and mitigate violent crime. Videos and documents which were previously unreleased due to the judicial process will be made available, after appropriate redactions are made." Officers arrested the 27-year-old on May 17 as he arrived for the second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville.Shelbyville Road was blocked that morning after a security guard, John Mills, was hit and killed by a shuttle bus. Police say Scheffler ignored traffic orders and dragged Detective Bryan Gillis with his SUV, but Gillis didn't have his body camera activated.Video from a nearby police camera only shows him running up to the driver's side door.Scheffler was charged with assault on a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.Scheffler, who lives in Texas, was not in attendance at Wednesday's hearing.His attorney, Steve Romines, spoke afterward, calling Scheffler "a victim" who was "falsely arrested."Hear from Romines: He said Scheffler has no plans to sue LMPD because he "doesn't want the taxpayers of Louisville to have to pay him a dime."
