Scheffler did just that. Those who were actually directing traffic told him (and anyone else who had legitimate business at Valhalla) to drive around the accident scene...

Detective Gillis decided to insert himself into the situation... Chaos ensued...

This thing is far from over.....the Tour date I’m assuming is contractual but if this lags on...could be in jeopardy

The Official PGA Car should have given Det. Gillis a clue that he had business at Valhalla... The other officers (who were actually assigned to traffic control) had no problem figuring it out...

As of yesterday, the charges were not going to be dropped. His arraignment has been moved into June.

Well since we don’t have a body cam to see EXACTLY what transpired……..opinions are like (you can Finnish)….and they ALL stink

Gillis “suffered pain, swelling and abrasions to his left wrist and knee,” the report continued.

So this golfer guy is above the law because he golfs? Interesting that all of a sudden everyone is happy the officer was hurt during the golfers decision he was above the law. But YAY, he’s getting the charges dropped since he actually did do it. That seems fair.

So this cop is above physics? Any 10 yr.. old probably knows that you can't stop a moving car by grabbing the door handle.

Yeah.. One officers says one thing and another is saying something else
... Who is wrong here?

So just a thought, charges have not been dropped, court date moved. One says I waved car through, other grabs car to stop it from advancing.

My thoughts are opening statements. Judge dismisses case due to lack or insufficient evidence.

That way Leo’s don’t have to do the He said, He said, and I didn’t realize____________ happened. Oh I didn’t have on my cam.

Win win for department, SS case is dismissed, and Justice served, making some happy or unhappy.

Just an opinion, wasn’t on property or a witness, so speculation on my part is just that

There were a lot of cameras there. All emergency response vehicles have cameras, I’m sure there was more than one cell phone recording and there is audio from any officers in the area. This thing will be settled soon.

Was that because they never told him what happened before they charge him or started making demands. Police are usually more curious than that. But why didn’t the police ask him for ID before they tried to charge him, then they would of known he was a Golf Pro to be coming there to play? They’re must of been more to it than they’re telling us!

Maybe the charges are dropped after he is arraigned?

Officer who didn't turn on his body cam, is subject to "corrective action" for not following department policy.

No video showing the start of the altercation.

"Respecting the legal process" that will move forward.

No plans to dismiss charges "at this time".
