Eyewitness reveals what police officer ‘yelled’ at Scottie Scheffler before arresting him outside PGA Championship

New details of Scottie Scheffler‘s dramatic arrest outside the PGA Championship on Friday morning have emerged from an eyewitness at the scene.

Scheffler was arrested in the early hours before his second round at Valhalla in Kentucky, with stunning images showing him handcuffed as he was taken to jail for not following police orders during a pedestrian fatality investigation.

The 27-year-old was accused of failing to stop for police as he attempted to gain entry at a point when they were managing traffic in the wake of a fatal collision between a bus and a member of the tournament’s security staff, John Mills.

The police report said Scheffler failed to comply with instructions and then drove away from an officer, Bryan Gillis, causing him to be dragged along by the two-time Masters winner’s car.

Louisville Metro Police Department said Scheffler was booked on four charges, including second-degree assault of a police officer. He was set to be arraigned in a Louisville courtroom on Tuesday but that appearance was rescheduled for June 3.
