The mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, confirmed on Thursday, May 23, that charges against golfer Scottie Scheffler have not been dropped
Charges against pro golfer Scottie Scheffler have not been dropped following his arrest on the morning of the PGA Championship.
Greenberg added, “LMPD needs to be focused on reducing the amount of violent crime in our city, reducing the amount of gun violence, protecting and keeping people safe that is what they do every day. That is what they’ve done since last Friday when they were working with the detail out at Valhalla and on Shelbyville Road and that’s what they will continue to do.
Us Weekly confirmed on May 17 that Scheffler had been arrested by the Louisville Metro Police earlier that day ahead of round 2 of the PGA Championship. Scheffler had allegedly continued driving on the Valhalla Golf Club parking lot despite a police officer’s request to stop. The streets had been temporarily closed after a fatal car accident at 5 a.m.
“I feel like my head is still spinning. I can’t really explain what happened this morning,” he said in a press conference last week. “I did spend some time stretching in a jail cell. That was a first for me. That was part of my warmup. I was just sitting there waiting and I started going through my warmup, I felt like there was a chance I may be able to still come out here and play.”
