***Scottie Scheffler Arrest Thread***

[Letterkenny]

I'd like to know what an officer "attaching himself to the vehicle" looks like.

It looks like a cop being a moron. Scottie is lucky he didn’t get shot.

ESPN is saying he’s been released. But it’s possible they booked him, took the mug shot and released him all in that time

There’s also a video where the cops were threatening to arrest the ESPN reporter videoing

Yes, you can. Stop for a moment, use your ******* brain, assess the situation and who you are dealing with and how that incident could have happened. A good cop would have taken a moment and then maybe chewed his ass and sent him on his way.

So it's ok to lay your hands on a cop as long as you can hit a golf ball well? JFC

They had to have dropped the charges, he wouldn’t be out if the charge of 2nd degree assault of a police officer stands.

2nd degree assault? WTF multiple cops just lost their jobs. What a bunch of ******** cops.

Except there are about 100 reports on the scene that the cop assaulted him. JFC to you

Have you listened to the details. That is not at all what happened here.

Maybe. I could see the DA or governor call and say get him out of there. This could be a huge egg on Kentucky’s face

And maybe Scotty should follow the rules and not drive over a median and ignore officer’s instructions to stop. Scotty did this to himself. You can’t fault the police for trying to make a horrific scene safe for first responders

He didn't "lay his hands" on a cop. From what I heard, the cop decided to Spiderman Scottie's car and it took a moment for Scottie to realize that it wasn't some random nutball (it was an official nutball).

You know 2nd degree assault could be considered a felony right and he could spend time in jail? He won't though so I don't know what you guys are worried about.

The PGA needs to do a better job with this and make it clear to players, staff, police, etc what's happening. They should have just delayed and told players to stay home.

We'll see the video I am sure, but I bet we've got some power trippers involved in this.

Who said he put his hands on a cop?

"From what you heard"?

I deal in facts and so far he's been charged with 4 different things including 2nd degree assault on a cop which is serious enough to land him in jail.

It sounds like everyone involved mad bad choices here, starting with Scottie and ending with the cops. Unfortunate situation.

He said he didn’t know it was a cop yelling at him. Also, players were allowed to enter and his car was marked as player.

Sounds like he drove 10ish additional yards while the cop was “trying to open his door or something”.

He should have stopped. But that isn’t 2nd degree assault on an officer. That is an honest misunderstanding

Did he drive over a median? Link? It looks like he was just doing what he was supposed to, the cops were wearing the same thing as tournament security, he was in a marked PGA car.

I think until all the details are out, this is the appropriate response. Everyone is quick to take sides, but sometimes all sides can be right and/or wrong in the same situation.
