***Scottie Scheffler Arrest Thread***

Blatantly obvious what happened. Dude was worried about missing his tee time in 4 hours so pulled the " " I don't have time for this ****", pulled out to go around everyone else disobeying police, then tried to pull the " Do you have any idea who I am?" card, then likely got physical with an officer.

You see that kind of stuff all the time with wrecks or construction zones.
I will bet you good money the police told the PGA to pass along to players that is exactly what they should do. I'm guessing it went something like this:

Police: "we have a pedestrian fatality accident outside the course. We're going to cut off access to all non-players and staff. Please pass along to your players and staff to have marked vehicles and follow these directions to get onto the grounds. We will let them through and keep you guys going."

This is almost always how things play out between organizations and security.
 
Not a smart move by Scottie to keep playing. Should have gone home and he could add lost earnings onto the inevitable lawsuit.

(This was a joke....)

Do you prefer the slip-on or lace-up boots?

These guys just think they can do what they want. The Gen Z age group and lower cause all the issues… they grew up in a society that they can’t wait their turn and don’t think about anyone other than themselves.

Oh wow, this may be worse than @NoCreativity . We are having a good old fashion grumpy, yell-at-the-sky, jaded-old-man off here.

He was a player. Players were allowed to enter. This isn’t traffic on I-35 on Wednesday afternoon

You can either chose to believe that a guy who is, by all accounts, the most boring, law-abiding guy to ever live picked 5 AM on Day 2 of a major to say **** it I'm going to assault some cops today, or you can believe that there was a genuine misunderstanding that was blown way out of proportion by an over-zealous cop who is now trying to cover his own *** by charging him with crimes that have no chance of ever sticking.
I think fault is on all parties. It seems Scotty could had avoided this by stopping and talking with the cop until the cop understood who he was and where he was going. From what we know now, I would say Scottie is at fault just as much as the cop. Once Scottie tries to continue without the cop giving him clearance, the cop then is trained to assume the driver has bad intentions.

I just can’t fathom how people think Scottie is completely innocent here. His actions led to the reaction of the cop. Again, if both parties simply talked and came to an understanding, none of this occurs. That fault is on both parties
 
Oh please, I don't like cops anymore than anyone else, I also don't like arrogant pricks who think they are above the law either.
I’m not sure why everyone thinks Scheffler should have been treated like everyone else. He’s a player in the tournament that thousands of people are going to watch today.

He should be given preferential treatment given he’s a big part of the event that caused all this to begin with.

Mad that Caitlin Clark is sucking in the wnba, wakes up and starts his day by trolling on CF. Classic .
 


That last blurb is pretty important. Also I need to know more about this fatal accident?


In the end, both sides were doing what they were told or trained to do. Scheffler was told to drive through not knowing that things changed due to the accident. The officer was clearing the accident scene just like they would in other situations. Anyone trying to drive through an accident would receive the same treatment.

The PGA should have had people on-site to communicate to both the officers and the players. Or perhaps they need to arrange transportation for the players rather than having them transport themselves.

Then he should have gotten an official escort if he’s that important.

Scottie should have stopped. I would have been fine with the cop chiding his ass or even citing him.

They literally arrested him and charged him with a felony. The stupidity of that greatly outweighs what Scottie did, disrupts the tournament, and has turned this into a national story.
